Embedded desingularization of toric varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2011-10-21 v2

Abstract

We present a new method to achieve an embedded desingularization of a toric variety. Let WW be a regular toric variety defined by a fan Σ\Sigma and XWX\subset W be a toric embedding. We construct a finite sequence of combinatorial blowing-ups such that the final strict transforms XWX'\subset W' are regular and XX' has normal crossing with the exceptional divisor.
