Topological classification of quasitoric manifolds with the second Betti number 2

Algebraic Topology 2012-09-20 v2

Abstract

A quasitoric manifold is a 2n2n-dimensional compact smooth manifold with a locally standard action of an nn-dimensional torus whose orbit space is a simple polytope. In this article, we classify quasitoric manifolds with the second Betti number β2=2\beta_2=2 topologically. Interestingly, they are distinguished by their cohomology rings up to homeomorphism.
