We classify the smooth projective symmetric G-varieties with Picard number one (and G semisimple). Moreover we prove a criterion for the smoothness of the simple (normal) symmetric varieties whose closed orbit is complete. In particular we…

The slack ideal of a polytope is a saturated determinantal ideal that gives rise to a new model for the realization space of the polytope. The simplest slack ideals are toric and have connections to projectively unique polytopes. We prove…

For a d-dimensional convex lattice polytope P, a formula for the boundary volume is derived in terms of the number of boundary lattice points on the first $\floor{d/2}$ dilations of P. As an application we give a necessary and sufficient…

We give two new constructions of the harmonic algebra of a lattice polytope $P$, a bigraded algebra whose character is the $q$-Ehrhart series of $P$ defined by Reiner and Rhoades. First, we show that the harmonic algebra is the associated…

In this article, we study projective log smooth pairs with numerically flat normalized logarithmic tangent bundle. Generalizing works of Jahnke-Radloff and Greb-Kebekus-Peternell, we show that, passing to an appropriate finite cover and up…

Let P be a lattice polytope in R^n, and let P \cap Z^n = {v_1,...,v_N}. If the N + \binom N2 points 2v_1,...,2v_N; v_1+v_2,...v_{N-1}+v_N are distinct, we say that P is a "distinct pair-sum" or "dps" polytope. We show that, if P is a dsp…

The main result of this paper is a structural theorem for projective Q-factorial toric varieties X in P^N, covered by lines. We prove that there exists a toric fibration f: X -> Z, locally trivial in the Zariski topology, with fiber a…

For any $n\geq 3$, we explicitly construct smooth projective toric $n$-folds of Picard number $\geq 5$, where any nontrivial nef line bundles are big.

We give a combinatorial criterion for the tangent bundle on a smooth toric variety to be stable with respect to a given polarisation in terms of the corresponding lattice polytope. Furthermore, we show that for a smooth toric surface and a…

This paper is a continuation of our previous work in which we defined the notion of a polytope complex and its $K$-theory. In this paper we produce formulas for the delooping of a simplicial polytope complex and the cofiber of a morphism of…

Given a convex polytope, we define its geometric spectrum, a stacky version of Batyrev's stringy E-functions, and we prove a stacky version of a formula of Libgober and Wood about the E-polynomial of a smooth projective variety. As an…

It was proved by Nill that for any lattice simplex of dimension $d$ with degree $s$ which is not a lattice pyramid, the inequality $d+1 \leq 4s-1$ holds. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of lattice simplices satisfying the…

We introduce a partial order on the set of all normal polytopes in R^d. This poset NPol(d) is a natural discrete counterpart of the continuum of convex compact sets in R^d, ordered by inclusion, and exhibits a remarkably rich combinatorial…

We present a formula for the degree of the discriminant of a smooth projective toric variety associated to a lattice polytope P, in terms of the number of integral points in the interior of dilates of faces of dimension greater or equal…

We give upper bounds on the minimal degree of a model in $\mathbb{P}^2$ and the minimal bidegree of a model in $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$ of the curve defined by a given Laurent polynomial, in terms of the combinatorics of the…

Let $\Delta \subset \R^n$ be an $n$-dimensional lattice polytope. It is well-known that $h_{\Delta}^*(t) := (1-t)^{n+1} \sum_{k \geq 0} |k\Delta \cap \Z^n| t^k $ is a polynomial of degree $d \leq n$ with nonnegative integral coefficients.…

This note proves the existence of universal rational parametrizations. The description involves homogeneous coordinates on a toric variety coming from a lattice polytope. We first describe how smooth toric varieties lead to universal…

Given lattice polytopes $P_1, \ldots, P_k$ contained in a $k$-dimensional subspace $U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a $d$-dimensional lattice polytope $Q \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we compute the Hodge vector of the Cayley polytope $P_1 * \cdots…

Lattice polyhedra $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ with the same tail cone are said to be normally located if every lattice point in the Minkowski sum $Q_1+Q_2$ is the sum of lattice points from $Q_1$ and $Q_2$, respectively. We prove that if the normal fan…

We present an explicit expression for the normalized height of a projective toric variety. This expression decomposes as a sum of local contributions, each term being the integral of a certain function, concave and piecewise linear-affine.…
