We investigate the Cohomological Crepant Resolution Conjecture for reduced Gorenstein weighted projective spaces. Using toric methods, we prove this conjecture in some new cases. As an intermediate step, we show that weighted projective spaces are toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. We also describe a combinatorial model for the orbifold cohomology of weighted projective spaces.

We characterise mutations between fake weighted projective spaces, and give explicit formulas for how the weights and multiplicity change under mutation. In particular, we prove that multiplicity-preserving mutations between fake weighted projective spaces are mutations over edges of the corresponding simplices. As an application, we analyse the canonical and terminal fake weighted projective s...

Abstract In this work we show that the Weil-Petersson volume (which coincides with CM degree) in case of weighted points projective line is continuous when approaching Calabi-Yau geometry from Fano geometry. More specifically, computed via localization converges to geometric volume, by McMullen different techniques, sum weights approaches

Chen and Ruan [6] defined a very interesting cohomology theoryChen-Ruan orbifold cohomology. The primary objective of this paper is to compute the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of the weighted projective spaces, one of the most important space used in physics. The classical tools (orbifold cohomology defined by Chen and Ruan, toric varieties, the localization technique) which have been proved t...
