Abstract

We extend Donaldson’s asymptotically holomorphic techniques to symplectic orbifolds. More precisely, given a compact symplectic orbifold such that the symplectic form defines an integer cohomology class, we prove that there exist sections of large tensor powers of the prequantizable line bundle such that their zero sets are symplectic suborbifolds. We then derive a Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for these suborbifolds, that computes their real cohomology up to middle dimension. We also get the hard Lefschetz and formality properties for them, when the ambient orbifold satisfies those properties.
