We give a combinatorial algorithm for equivariant embedded resolution of singularities of a toric variety defined over a perfect field. The algorithm is realized by a finite succession of blowings-up with smooth invariant centres that…
We study locally trivial deformations of toric varieties from a combinatorial point of view. For any fan $\Sigma$, we construct a deformation functor $\mathrm{Def}_\Sigma$ by considering \v{C}ech zero-cochains on certain simplicial…
We give an explicit projectivization algorithm for smooth complete toric varieties. More precisely, after fixing an ordered lattice basis, every smooth complete fan $\Sigma$ admits a basis-canonical refinement $\widehat{\Sigma}$ that is…
It is a long-standing question whether an arbitrary variety is desingularized by finitely many normalized Nash blow-ups. We consider this question in the case of a toric variety. We interpret the normalized Nash blow-up in polyhedral terms,…
We address the following question of partial desingularization preserving normal crossings. Given an algebraic (or analytic) variety X in characteristic zero, can we find a finite sequence of blowings-up preserving the normal-crossings…
The subject is partial resolution of singularities. Given an algebraic variety X (not necessarily equidimensional) in characteristic zero (or, more generally, a pair (X,D), where D is a divisor on X), we construct a functorial…
This paper proposes some material towards a theory of general toric varieties without the assumption of normality. Their combinatorial description involves a fan to which is attached a set of semigroups subjected to gluing-up conditions. In…
Let $X_\Sigma$ be a smooth, not necessarily compact toric variety. We show that a certain complex, defined in terms of the fan $\Sigma$, computes the integral cohomology of $X_\Sigma$, including the module structure over the homology of the…
We are interested in two classes of varieties with group action, namely toric varieties and spherical embeddings. They are classified by combinatorial objects, called fans in the toric setting, and colored fans in the spherical setting. We…
It is shown that, for any reduced algebraic variety in characteristic zero, one can resolve all but simple normal crossings (snc) singularities by a finite sequence of blowings-up with smooth centres which, at every step, avoids points…
We describe the structure of simplicial locally convex fans associated to even-dimensional complete toric varieties with signature 0. They belong to the set of such toric varieties whose even degree Betti numbers yield a top gamma vector…
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, G_m=(K\{0},*) be its multiplicative group, and G_a=(K,+) be its additive group. Consider a commutative linear algebraic group G=G_m^r\times G_a. We study equivariant…
In this paper, we provide a combinatorial description of seminormal toric varieties. The corresponding combinatorial object is a fan equipped with a collection of groups assigned to each cone. This framework introduces a more general class…
We present an algebraic method to study four-dimensional toric varieties by lifting matrix equations from the special linear group ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb Z})$ to its preimage in the universal cover of ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb R})$. With this…
Generalizing the passage from a fan to a toric variety, we provide a combinatorial approach to construct arbitrary effective torus actions on normal, algebraic varieties. Based on the notion of a ``proper polyhedral divisor'' introduced in…
Let $X$ be a complete toric variety. We give a criterion to decide whether $X$ decomposes as a product of complete toric varieties by analyzing the $1$-skeleton of its fan. More precisely, we prove that any direct-sum decomposition of the…
We propose new definitions of integral, reduced, and normal superrings and superschemes to properly establish the notion of a supervariety. We generalize several results about classical reduced rings and varieties to the supergeometric…
In the present work we give a description a computer algebra algorithm of construction of a toric variety given its fan. The algorithm provides us as well with a construction of an integral representation in $\mathbb{C}^d$, associated with…
Let $X$ be a compact toric extremal K\"ahler manifold. Using the work of Sz\'ekelyhidi, we provide a combinatorial criterion on the fan describing $X$ to ensure the existence of complex deformations of $X$ that carry extremal metrics. As an…
In this note we study linear systems on complete toric varieties $X$ with an invariant point, whose orbit under the action of the automorphism group of $X$ contains the dense torus $T$ of $X$. We give a characterization of such varieties in…
