Toric varieties whose blow-up at a point is Fano

Abstract

We classify smooth toric Fano varieties of dimension n3n\geq 3 containing a toric divisor isomorphic to \PPn1\PP^{n-1}. As a consequence of this classification, we show that any smooth complete toric variety XX of dimension n3n\geq 3 with a TT-fixed point xXx\in X such that the blow-up Bx(X)B_x(X) of XX at xx is Fano is isomorphic either to \PPn\PP^n or to the blow-up of \PPn\PP^n along a \PPn2\PP^{n-2}. As expected, such results are proved using toric Mori theory due to Reid.
