We show a homotopy decomposition of $p$-localized suspension $Sigma M_{(p)}$ of a quasitoric manifold $M$ by constructing power maps. As an application we investigate the $p$-localized suspension of the projection $pi$ from the moment-angle complex onto $M$, from which we deduce its triviality for $p>dim M/2$. We also discuss non-triviality of $pi_{(p)}$ and $Sigma^inftypi$.
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.
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 $I^3$.
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 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.
We calculate the homotopy type of $L_1L_{K(2)}S^0$ and $L_{K(1)}L_{K(2)}S^0$ at the prime 2, where $L_{K(n)}$ is localization with respect to Morava $K$-theory and $L_1$ localization with respect to $2$-local $K$ theory. In $L_1L_{K(2)}S^0$ we find all the summands predicted by the Chromatic Splitting Conjecture, but we find some extra summands as well. An essential ingredient in our approach is the analysis of the continuous group cohomology $H^ast_c(mathbb{G}_2,E_0)$ where $mathbb{G}_2$ is the Morava stabilizer group and $E_0 = mathbb{W}[[u_1]]$ is the ring of functions on the height $2$ Lubin-Tate space. We show that the inclusion of the constants $mathbb{W} to E_0$ induces an isomorphism on group cohomology, a radical simplification.
