The number of small covers over cubes

Geometric Topology 2014-10-01 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

In the present paper we find a bijection between the set of small covers over an nn-cube and the set of acyclic digraphs with nn labeled nodes. Using this, we give a formula of the number of small covers over an nn-cube (generally, a product of simplices) up to Davis-Januszkiewicz equivalence classes and Zn\mathbf{Z}^n-equivariant diffeomorphism classes. Moreover we prove that the number of acyclic digraphs with nn unlabeled nodes is an upper bound of the number of small covers over an nn-cube up to diffeomorphism.
