This paper investigates the moment-angle manifolds whose cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of a connected sum of sphere products. We first give a example of moment-angle manifolds corresponding to a 4 dimentional simplicial polytope. It…

The topology of the intersection of two real homogeneous coaxial quadrics was studied by the second author who showed that its intersection with the unit sphere is in most cases diffeomorphic to a connected sum of sphere products. Combining…

We consider the Lie group of smooth diffeomorphisms Diff$(M)$ of a simple polytope $M$ in the euclidean space. Simple polytopes are special cases of manifolds with corners. The geometric setting allows to study in particular, the subgroup…

Let $P$ be a simple polytope of dimension $n$ with $m$ facets and $P_{v}$ be a polytope obtained from $P$ by cutting off one vertex $v$. Let $Z=Z(P)$ and $Z_{v}=Z(P_{v})$ be the corresponding moment-angle manifolds. In \cite{[GL]} S.Gitler…

It is shown that a small cover (resp. real moment-angle manifold) over a simple polytope is an infra-solvmanifold if and only if it is diffeomorphic to a real Bott manifold (resp. flat torus). Moreover, we obtain several equivalent…

We generalize the notion of moment-angle manifold over a simple convex polytope to an arbitrary nice manifold with corners. For a nice manifold with corners Q, we first compute the stable decomposition of the moment-angle manifold Z_Q via a…

One can define what it means for a compact manifold with corners to be a "contractible manifold with contractible faces." Two combinatorially equivalent, contractible manifolds with contractible faces are diffeomorphic if and only if their…

Two simple polytopes of dimension 3 having the identical bigraded Betti numbers but non-isomorphic Tor-algebras are presented. These polytopes provide two homotopically different moment-angle manifolds having the same bigraded Betti…

Let $\rho:(D^2)^m\to I^m$ be the orbit map for the diagonal action of the torus $T^m$ on the unit poly-disk $(D^2)^m$, $I^m=[0,1]^m$ is the unit cube. Let $C$ be a cubical subcomplex in $I^m$. The moment-angle complex $\ma(C)$ is a…

In this paper we shall illustrate that each polytopal moment-angle complex can be understood as the intersection of the minima of corresponding Siegel leaves and the unit sphere, with respect to the maximum norm. Consequently, an…

These are notes of the lectures given during the Toric Topology Workshop at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in February 2010. We describe several approaches to moment-angle manifolds and complexes, including the…

We show that a moment-angle manifold associated to a neighbourly triangulation of an odd dimensional sphere is homotopy equivalent to a connected sum of products of two spheres, resolving a problem of Buchstaber and Panov. The methods are…

Fan, Chen, Ma and Wang constructed a moment-angle manifold $Z_K$ whose cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of a connected sum of sphere products with one product of three spheres. In this paper, we show that they are actually…

We investigate the equivariant topological rigidity of complex and quaternionic moment--angle manifolds. By reducing the classification to the equivariant rigidity of their quasitoric (or quoric) quotients and the classification of the…

In this note we prove that equivariantly homeomorphic quasitoric manifolds are diffeomorphic. As a consequence we show that up to finite ambiguity the diffeomorphism type of certain quasitoric manifolds $M$ is determined by their cohomology…
