An orbifold is a singular space which is locally modeled on the quotient of a smooth manifold by a smooth action of a finite group. It appears naturally in geometry and topology when group actions on manifolds are involved and the stabilizer of each fixed point is finite. The concept of an orbifold was first introduced by Satake under the name “V -manifold” in a paper where he also extended the basic differential geometry to his newly defined singular spaces (cf. [32]). The local structure of an orbifold – being the quotient of a smooth manifold by a finite group …
