The (2, 2, 2, 2)-orbifold is a 2-dimensional orbifold with four order 2 cone points having 2-sphere as an underlying space. The (2, 2, 2, 2)-orbifold admits different geometric structures. The purpose of this paper is to find some real profective structures on the (2, 2, 2, 2)-orbifold.

The concept of "orbifold embedding" is introduced. This is more general than sub-orbifolds. Some properties of orbifold embeddings are studied, and in the case of translation groupoids, orbifold embedding is shown to be equivalent to a strong equivariant immersion.

It is known that the orbifold Euler characteristic $e_{orb}(S)$ of a log del Pezzo surface S of rank one satisfies the inequality $0{\leq}e_{orb}(S){\leq}3$. In this note, we show that the orbifold Euler characteristic of S is strictly positive, i.e., 0 < $e_{orb}(S)$. Moreover, we also show, by construction, the existence of log del Pezzo surfaces of rank one with arbitrarily small orbifold Euler characteristic.

In this article, we will characterize structures of geometric quotient orbifolds of G-manifold of genus two where G is a finite group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms using the idea of handlebody orbifolds. By using the characterization, we will deduce the candidates of possible non-hyperbolic geometric quotient orbifolds case by case using W. Dunbar's work. In addition, if the G-manifold is compact, closed and the quotient orbifold's geometry is hyperbolic then we can show that the fundamental group of the quotient orbifold cannot be in the class D.

In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an essential simple loop on a 2-bridge sphere in an even Heckoid orbifold for the trivial knot to be null-homotopic, peripheral or torsion in the orbifold. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for two essential simple loops on a 2-bridge sphere in an even Heckoid orbifold for the trivial knot to be homotopic in the orbifold.

We give Hodge structures on quasitoric orbifolds. We define orbifold Hodge numbers and show a correspondence of orbifold Hodge numbers for crepant resolutions of quasitoric orbifolds. In short we extend Hodge structures to a non almost complex setting.

For positive integers $n_i \geq 2, i = 1, 2, 3, 4$, such that $\Sigma \frac{n_i}{1} < 2$, there exists a quadrilateral $P = P_1 P_2 P_3 P_4$ in the hyperbolic plane $H^2$ with the interior angle $\frac{n_i}{\pi}$ at $P_i$. Let $\Gamma \subset Isom(H^2)$ be the (discrete) group generated by reflections in each side of $P$. Then the quotient space $H^2/\gamma$ is a differentiable orbifold of type $(^* n_1 n_2 n_3 n_4)$. It will be shown that the deformation space of $Rp^2$-structures on this orbifold can be mapped continuously and bijectively onto the cell of dimension 4 - \left$\mid$ {i$\mid$n_i = 2} \right$\mid$$.

In this paper, we shall prove that the Kim-Kostrikin group is isomorphic to a hyperbolic orbifold group and so it is infinite.

Let (p/q,n) denote the orbifold with its underlying space $S^3$ and a rational knot or link p/q as its singular set with a cyclic isotropy group of order n. In this paper we shall show the geometrical realization for the case (7/3,n) for all $n \geq 3$.

We prove every oriented compact cyclic 3-orbifold has a contact structure. There is another proof in the web by Daniel Herr in his uploaded thesis which depends on open book decompositions, ours is independent of that. We define overtwisted contact structures, tight contact structures and Lutz twist on oriented compact cyclic 3-orbifolds. We show that every contact structure in an oriented compact cyclic 3-orbifold contactified by our method is homotopic to an overtwisted structure with the overtwisted disc intersecting the singular locus of the orbifolds. In course of proving the above results we prove a classification result for compact oriented cyclic-3 orbifolds which has not been seen by us in literature before.
