Torsion in the Cohomology of Torus Orbifolds

The authors study torsion in the integral cohomology of a certain family of2 n-dimensional orbifolds X with actions of the n-dimensional compact torus. Compact simplicial toric varieties are in our family. For a prime number p, the authors find a necessary condition for the integral cohomology of X...

Description
Summary:The authors study torsion in the integral cohomology of a certain family of2 n-dimensional orbifolds X with actions of the n-dimensional compact torus. Compact simplicial toric varieties are in our family. For a prime number p, the authors find a necessary condition for the integral cohomology of X to have no p-torsion. Then it is proved that the necessary condition is sufficient in some cases. The authors also give an example of X which shows that the necessary condition is not sufficient in general.
