orbifold


Roughly, an orbifold is the quotientPlanetmathPlanetmath of a manifold by a finite groupMathworldPlanetmath. For example, take a sheet of paper and add a small crease perpendicular to one side at the halfway point. Then, line up the two halves of the side. This may be thought of as the plane 2 modulo the group 2. Now, let us give the definition.

Define a category 𝒳:The objects are pairs (G,X), where G is a finite group actingeffectively on a connected smooth manifold X. A morphism Φ betweentwo objects (G,X) and (G,X) is a family of openembeddingsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath ϕ:XX which satisfy

  • for each embedding ϕΦ, there is an injective homomorphismPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathλϕ:GG such that ϕ is λϕequivariant

  • For gG, we have

    gϕ:XX
    gϕ:xgϕ(x)

    and if (gϕ)(X)ϕ(X), then gλϕ(G).

  • Φ={gϕ,gG}, for any ϕΦ

Now, we define orbifolds. Given a paracompact Hausdorff space X and anice open covering 𝒰 which forms a basis for the topologyMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath onX, an orbifold structure 𝒱 on X consists of

    For U𝒰, 𝒱(U)=(GU,U~)τU is a ramified cover U~U whichidentifies U~/GUU

  2. 2.

    For UV𝒰, there exists a morphismϕVU(GU,U~)(GV,V~) covering theinclusion

  3. 3.

    If UVW𝒰, ϕWU=ϕWVϕVU
