A quasitoric manifold is a smooth manifold with a locally standard torus action for which the orbit space is identified with a simple polytope. For a class of topological spaces, the class is called strongly cohomologically rigid if any isomorphism of cohomology rings can be realized as a homeomorphism. This paper shows the strong cohomological rigidity of the class of quasitoric manifolds over $I^3$.
It is proved that if two quasitoric manifolds of dimension $le 2p^2-4$ for a prime $p$ have isomorphic cohomology rings, then they have the same $p$-local stable homotopy type.
The aim of this article is to establish the notion of bundle-type quasitoric manifolds and provide two classification results on them: (1) ($mathbb{C}P^2sharpmathbb{C}P^2$)-bundle type quasitoric manifolds are weakly equivariantly homeomorphic if their cohomology rings are isomorphic, and (2) quasitoric manifolds over $I^3$ are homeomorphic if their cohomology rings are isomorphic. In the latter case, there are only four quasitoric manifolds up to weakly equivariant homeomorphism which are not bundle-type.
In the present paper, we characterize Fano Bott manifolds up to diffeomorphism in terms of three operations on matrix. More precisely, we prove that given two Fano Bott manifolds $X$ and $X$, the following conditions are equivalent: (1) the upper triangular matrix associated to $X$ can be transformed into that of $X$ by those three operations; (2) $X$ and $X$ are diffeomorphic; (3) the integral cohomology rings of $X$ and $X$ are isomorphic as graded rings. As a consequence, we affirmatively answer the cohomological rigidity problem for Fano Bott manifolds.
For a simple $n$-polytope $P$, a quasitoric manifold over $P$ is a $2n$-dimensional smooth manifold with a locally standard action of the $n$-dimensional torus for which the orbit space is identified with $P$. This paper shows the topological classification of quasitoric manifolds over the dual cyclic polytope $C^n(m)^*$, when $n>3$ or $m-n=3$. Besides, we classify small covers, the real version of quasitoric manifolds, over all dual cyclic polytopes.
The cohomological rigidity problem for toric manifolds asks whether toric manifolds are diffeomorphic (or homeomorphic) if their integral cohomology rings are isomorphic. Many affirmative partial solutions to the problem have been obtained and no counterexample is known. In this paper, we study the diffeomorphism classification of toric Fano $d$-folds with $d=3,4$ or with Picard number $ge 2d-2$. In particular, we show that those manifolds except for two toric Fano $4$-folds are diffeomorphic if their integral cohomology rings are isomorphic. The exceptional two toric Fano $4$-folds (their ID numbers are 50 and 57 on a list of {O}bro) have isomorphic cohomology rings and their total Pontryagin classes are preserved under an isomorphism between their cohomology rings, but we do not know whether they are diffeomorphic or homeomorphic.
