Rational cohomology of toric diagrams

Algebraic Topology 2026-04-30 v4

Abstract

In this note, (rational) Betti numbers of homotopy colimits for toric diagrams and their classifying spaces are described in terms of sheaf cohomology over CW posets. We prove for any TT-diagram DD over any CW poset that Cohen-Macaulayness (over Q\mathbb{Q}) of the TT-action on hocolim Dhocolim\ D is equivalent to acyclicity for a certain sheaf. The ordinary and bigraded Betti numbers are computed for skeletons of equivariantly formal spaces from this class (in particular, of compact smooth toric manifolds).
