Small covers over products of a polygon with a simplex

The equivariant homeomorphism class of an (orientable) small cover over a simple convex polytope Pn bijectively corresponds to the equivalence class of its (orientable) coloring under the action of automorphism group of face poset of Pn. By calculating the number of orbits of group actions we determine the number of equivariant homeomorphism classes of small covers over products of a polygon with a simplex. Moreover, we calculate the number of equivariant homeomorphism classes of all orientable small covers over the product.
