Abstract

Let XX be a \Q\Q-factorial complete toric variety over an algebraic closed field of characteristic 00. There is a canonical injection of the Picard group Pic(X){\rm Pic}(X) in the group Cl(X){\rm Cl}(X) of classes of Weil divisors. These two groups are finitely generated abelian groups; whilst the first one is a free group, the second one may have torsion. We investigate algebraic and geometrical conditions under which the image of Pic(X){\rm Pic}(X) in Cl(X){\rm Cl}(X) is contained in a free part of the latter group.
