We introduce orbifolds from the classical point of view, using charts, and present orbifold versions of elementary objects from Algebraic Topology, such as the fundamental group, coverings and Euler characteristic; Differential Topology/Geometry, including orbibundles, differential forms, integration and (equivariant) De Rham cohomology; and Riemannian Geometry, surveying generalizations of classical theorems to this setting.

  1. The complex projective plane as a ball quotient

    math.GT 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The only ball-quotient structures on P^2 with smooth pairwise normal-crossing branch divisor are the Deligne–Mostow complete quadrilateral and the degree-9 dual Hesse arrangement.

  2. Diffeological Riemannian orbifolds

    math.DG 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    Riemannian metrics on orbifold stacks are equivalent to weak Riemannian metrics on the corresponding diffeological orbit spaces; regularity is necessary and properness is sufficient for the descent.

  3. Topological volumes of certain complete affine manifolds

    math.GT 2025-02 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Complete affine manifolds with an infinite amenable normal subgroup have amenable category at most their dimension, so all three topological volumes vanish.
