TITLEMoment Angle Complex and Integral Cohomology of Toric orbifolds

ABSTRACT The moment-angle complex Z_K was introduced by Buchstaber and Panov as a disc-circle decomposition of the Davis-Januszkiewicz universal space associated to a simplicial complex K where they defined a quasi-toric manifold as a partial quotient of the moment angle complexes associated to a simple polytope. In this talk, after (1) a brief introduction to the subject, I will talk about (2) "Cohen-Macaulayness" of the Stanley-Reisner ring in terms of equivariant cohomology of partial torus action on Z_K and (3) connected sums of simplicial complexes.
