On Symplectic Toric Orbifolds as Quotients by a Finite Group Action

Derek Krepski, McMaster University

We discuss conditions under which an orbifold presented as the orbit space of a smooth action of a compact Lie group (acting almost freely on a smooth manifold) is equivalent (as stacks) to the orbit space of a finite group action. Applications to symplectic toric orbifolds are then considered.
