We construct monads for framed torsion-free sheaves on blow-ups of the complex projective plane at finitely many distinct points. Using these monads we prove that the moduli space of such sheaves is a smooth algebraic variety. Moreover we…

Our main result is the following: let X be a normal affine toric surface without torus factor. Then there exists a non-normal affine toric surface X' with automorphism group isomorphic to the automorphism group of X if and only if X is…

We study the secant line variety of the Segre product of projective spaces using special cumulant coordinates adapted for secant varieties. We show that the secant variety is covered by open normal toric varieties. We prove that in cumulant…

A semialgebraic map $f:X\to Y$ between two real algebraic sets is called blow-Nash if it can be made Nash (i.e. semialgebraic and real analytic) by composing with finitely many blowings-up with non-singular centers. We prove that if a…

We investigate combinatorial aspects of exceptional sequences in the derived category of coherent sheaves on certain smooth and complete algebraic surfaces. We show that to any such sequence there is canonically associated a complete toric…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety and $f:X\to X$ a non-isomorphic polarized endomorphism. We give two characterizations for $X$ to be a toric variety. First we show that if $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial and $G$-almost homogeneous for…

The strong factorization conjecture states that a proper birational map between smooth algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero can be factored as a sequence of smooth blowups followed by a sequence of smooth blowdowns. We…

Associated to a toric variety $X$ of dimension $r$ over a field $k$ is a fan $\Delta$ on $\Bbb R^r$. The fan $\Delta$ is a finite set of cones which are in one-to-one correspondence with the orbits of the torus action on $X$. The fan…

A toric hyperplane is the preimage of a point $x \in S^1$ of a continuous surjective group homomorphism $\theta: \mathbb{T}^n \to S^1$. A finite hyperplane arrangement is a finite collection of such hyperplanes. In this paper, we study the…

Let $X(\Delta)$ be the real toric variety associated to a smooth fan $\Delta$. The main purpose of this article is: (i) to determine the fundamental group and the universal cover of $X(\Delta)$, (ii) to give necessary and sufficient…

In this article, we first give some elementary proprieties of monoids and fans, then construct a toric scheme over an arbitrary ring, from a given fan. Using Valuative Criterion, we prove that this scheme is separated and give the…

We introduce the notion of a Seshadri stratification on an embedded projective variety. Such a structure enables us to construct a Newton-Okounkov simplicial complex and a flat degeneration of the projective variety into a union of toric…

We study the relation between the integer tropical points of a cluster variety (satisfying the full Fock-Goncharov conjecture) and the totally positive part of the tropicalization of an ideal presenting the corresponding cluster algebra.…

We characterize the smooth toric varieties for which the Merkurjev spectral sequence, connecting equivariant and ordinary K-theory, degenerates. We find under which conditions on the support of the fan the $E^2$ terms of the spectral…

An infinite type toric variety is a normal toric variety given by a fan with infinitely many cones. We construct examples in this paper coming from representation theory of loop groups. The fans that appear are cones on Voronoi tilings on a…

In this paper, we study complete simplicial toric varieties admitting faithful actions of large symmetric groups. First, we correct a recent classification result by Esser, Ji, and Moraga concerning $4$-dimensional toric varieties with…

Toric varieties play an important role both in symplectic and complex geometry. In symplectic geometry, the construction of a symplectic toric manifold from a smooth polytope is due to Delzant. In algebraic geometry, there is a more general…

We conjecture that any connected component $Q$ of the moduli space of triples $(X,E=E_1+\dots+E_n,\Theta)$ where $X$ is a smooth projective variety, $E$ is a normal crossing anti-canonical divisor with a 0-stratum, every $E_i$ is smooth,…

We extend tropicalization and tropical compactification of subvarieties of algebraic tori to subvarieties of spherical homogeneous spaces. Given a tropical compactification of a subvariety, we show that the support of the colored fan of the…

We construct a series of blowups $(\widetilde M_i,\pi_i)_{i\in \mathbb N_0}$ of a singular foliation by applying to the universal Lie $\infty$-algebroid of a singular foliation the so-called Nash modification. For $i=0$, we recover a blowup…
