We define a geometric homology group of a topological space $X$ as follows: the chain complex $C_{\bullet}$is freely generated by the maps $f$ from a compact oriented orbifold with corners $P$ to $X$, ...

In the paper "A new cohomology theory for orbifold" by Chen/Ruan, they define the orbifold cohomology group of an orbifold $X$ by $H^d_{orb}(X)=\bigoplus_{(g) \in T} H^{d-2\iota_{(g)}}(X_{(g)})$ ...

In a somewhat limited setting, a Seifert Fibre Space is a 3-manifold $M$ with a "nice" decomposition into circles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seifert_fiber_space). That is, $M$ is decomposed into ...

In his paper "Weil-Petersson Volumes" Penner gives the following formula for the integral of a top-dimensional cohomology class $\omega$ on the moduli space $\mathcal M_g^s$ of $s$-punctured riemann ...
