Equivariant cohomology distinguishes toric manifolds
read the original abstract
The equivariant cohomology of a space with a group action is not only a ring but also an algebra over the cohomology ring of the classifying space of the acting group. We prove that toric manifolds (i.e. compact smooth toric varieties) are isomorphic as varieties if and only if their equivariant cohomology algebras are weakly isomorphic. We also prove that quasitoric manifolds, which can be thought of as a topological counterpart to toric manifolds, are equivariantly homeomorphic if and only if their equivariant cohomology algebras are isomorphic.

Chern Characteristics and Todd-Hirzebruch Identities for Transpolar Pairs of Toric Spaces
Transpolar pairs involving VEX multitopes yield smooth toric spaces whose Chern classes satisfy Todd-Hirzebruch identities and belong to deformation families of generalized complete intersections.
