According to this equation:
3O2 <--hv, high E, incoming solar radiation-->2O3
one finds more stratospheric ozone at the equatorial regions, where avg stratospheric temp is higher than at the poles (wher there is a 'hole' in the ozone). is this surprising based on the above equation? why or why not?

It is not surprising.
What is surprising is that you used the term "global warming" in the question. Global warming does not have anything to do with ozone depletion! They are completely separate environmental problems, with different causes and different effects.

ozone depletion is related to Chlorine and sunlight at high elevations destroying ozone molecules
The research has been directed to removing chlorine not temperature.
