On the one hand there is the obvious notion that smooth structures on orbifolds lift to smooth $G$-...

Branched coverings over orbifolds with reflector lines
It is well known that if $F\to B$ is a $n$-finite branched covering over an orbifold with cone-points then the orbifold Euler's characteristics are related via $\chi(F)=n(\chi(B)-\sum_i^r\frac{a_i-1}{...
