Topological rigidity of quoric manifolds

Abstract

Quoric manifolds are the quaternionic analogue of toric manifolds. They admit a locally nice action of $(S^3{)}^n$ and the quotient is a manifold with corners. We show that they satisfy equivariant rigidity. More precisely, any locally linear $(S^3{)}^n$-manifold that it is equivariantly homotopic equivalent to a quoric manifold is equivariantly homeomorphic to it. The proof is given by generalising the methods of used in Coxeter and toric manifolds.
