Betti numbers of locally standard 2-torus manifolds

Abstract

Let M ⁿ be a smooth closed n-manifold with a locally standard (ℤ₂) ⁿ-action. This paper deals with the relationship among the mod 2 Betti numbers of M ⁿ, the mod 2 Betti numbers and the h-vector of the orbit space of the action.

Keywords
