Moment angle complexes and big Cohen–Macaulayness

Shisen Luo, Tomoo Matsumura and W Frank Moore

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 14 (2014) 379–406
Abstract

Let ZK m be the moment angle complex associated to a simplicial complex K on [m], together with the natural action of the torus T = U(1)m. Let G T be a (possibly disconnected) closed subgroup and R := TG. Let [K] be the Stanley–Reisner ring of K and consider [R] := H(BR; ) as a subring of [T] := H(BT; ). We prove that HG(ZK; ) is isomorphic to Tor[R]([K], ) as a graded module over [T]. Based on this, we characterize the surjectivity of HT(ZK; ) HG(ZK; ) (ie HGodd(ZK; ) = 0) in terms of the vanishing of Tor1[R] ([K], ) and discuss its relation to the freeness and the torsion-freeness of [K] over [R]. For various toric orbifolds X, by which we mean quasitoric orbifolds or toric Deligne–Mumford stacks, the cohomology of X can be identified with HG(ZK) with appropriate K and G and the above results mean that H(X; )Tor[R]([K], ) and that Hodd(X; ) = 0 if and only if H(X; ) is the quotient HR(X; ).
