Quasitoric manifold

In mathematics, a quasitoric manifold is a topological analogue of the nonsingular projective toric variety of algebraic geometry. A smooth -dimensional manifold is a quasitoric manifold if it admits a smooth, locally standard action of an -dimensional torus, with orbit space an -dimensional simple convex polytope. Quasitoric manifolds were introduced in 1991 by M. Davis and T. Januszkiewicz, who called them "toric manifolds". However, the term "quasitoric manifold" was eventually adopted to avoid confusion with the class of compact smooth toric varieties, which are known to algebraic geometers as toric manifolds. Quasitoric manifolds are studied in a variety of contexts in algebraic topology, such as complex cobordism theory, and the other oriented cohomology theories. (Wikipedia).

Schemes 27: Quasicoherent sheaves

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course on schemes, based on chapter II of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. We show how to turn a module over a ring into a sheaf of modules over its spectrum. A quasicoherent sheaf of modules of one which looks locally like one constr

Abstract: In information geometry, a statistical manifold is a Riemannian manifold (M,g) equipped with a totally symmetric (0,3)-tensor. We show that the tangent bundle of a statistical manifold has a Frobenius algebra structure if and only if the sectional K-curvature vanishes. This gives
