Following Skorobogatov and Serganova we construct the embeddings of universal torsors over del Pezzo surfaces in the cones over flag varieties, considered as the closed orbits in the projectivization of quasiminiscule representations. We…

We introduce toric $b$-divisors on complete smooth toric varieties and a notion of integrability of such divisors. We show that under some positivity assumptions toric $b$-divisors are integrable and that their degree is given as the volume…

In this article we describe the equivariant and ordinary topological $K$-ring of a toric bundle with fiber a $T$-{\it cellular} toric variety. This generalizes the results in \cite{su} on $K$-theory of smooth projective toric bundles. We…

We apply a theorem of Gel'fand, Goresky, MacPherson, and Serganova about matroid polytopes to study semistability of partial flags relative to a T-linearized ample line bundle of a flag space F = SL(n)/P where T is a maximal torus in SL(n)…

We prove that up to automorphisms a line admits a unique embedding into the regular part of of a simplicial toric variety of dimension n>=4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero which is smooth in codimension 2.

We examine the integral cohomology rings of certain families of $2n$-dimensional orbifolds $X$ that are equipped with a well-behaved action of the $n$-dimensional real torus. These orbifolds arise from two distinct but closely related…

Rubinstein--Tillmann generalized the notions of Heegaard splittings of 3-manifolds and trisections of 4-manifolds by defining {\it multisections} of PL $n$-manifolds, which are decompositions into $k=\lfloor n/2\rfloor+1$ $n$-dimensional…

Two divisors in $\P^n$ are said to be Cremona equivalent if there is a Cremona modification sending one to the other. We produce infinitely many non equivalent divisorial embeddings of any variety of dimension at most 14. Then we study the…

We introduce the notion of strong regular embeddings of Deligne-Mumford stacks. These morphisms naturally arise in the related contexts of generalized Euler sequences and hypertoric geometry.

We characterize the Archimedean solids among the convex uniform polyhedra via face embeddings into a regular Tetrahedron. This result has been listed without proof in the literature.

Dropping separatedness in the definition of a toric variety, one obtains the more general notion of a toric prevariety. Toric prevarieties occur as ambient spaces in algebraic geometry and moreover they appear naturally as intermediate…

We investigate the possibility of embedding minimal abelian surfaces in smooth toric 4-folds with Picard number 2. The existence of such an embedding imposes conditions on the 4-fold, which we partly describe. On the other hand, we exhibit…

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a torus on a compact twisted generalized complex manifold $M$. We first observe that Kirwan injectivity and surjectivity hold for ordinary equivariant cohomology in this setting. Then we prove that these…

In algebraic geometry, trigonal curves can always be embedded into Hirzebruch surfaces. In tropical geometry, the notion of trigonality does not have a unique translation. We focus on the characterization in terms of the existence of a…

In this paper we study the embedded topology of reducible plane curves having a smooth irreducible component. In previous studies, the relation between the topology and certain torsion classes in the Picard group of degree zero of the…

We construct relatively bounded toroidal and toric models of relatively bounded fibrations over curves.

For a cycle of codimension 1 in a toric variety, its degree with respect to a nef toric divisor can be understood in terms of the mixed volume of the polytopes associated to the divisor and to the cycle. We prove here that an analogous…

In this paper, we study affine manifolds endowed with linear foliations. These are foliations defined by vector subspaces invariant by the linear holonomy. We show that an $n$-dimensional compact, complete, and oriented affine manifold…

We study multisections of embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds admitting effective torus actions. We show that a simply-connected 4-manifold admits a genus one multisection if and only if it admits an effective torus action. Orlik and Raymond…

This is an announcement of the following construction: given an integral affine manifold $B$ with singularities, we build a topological space $X$ which is a torus fibration over $B$. The main new feature of the fibration $X\to B$ is that it…
