Gluing of orbifolds
Suppose that $P$ and $Q$ are $n$-dimensional orbifolds, with boundaries. Suppose also that there is an isomorphism $f \colon \partial P \rightarrow \partial Q$ (as orbifolds). Is there a way to glue $...

Does any smooth oriented closed orbifold have a fundamental class
This thread:triangulation of orbifolds
has shown that any smooth closed orbifold has a triangulation. My further question is: if the difference of any two triangulations $P$ and $Q$ is a boundary of a ...

manifold branched covering space for orbifolds
An orbifold structure on some topological space $X$ is a covering of $X$ with local quotient charts $V/G$, where $V$ is some connected manifold and $G$ effectively acts on $V$ via a finite group of ...
