Given an affine toric variety $X$ embedded in a smooth variety, we prove a general result about the mixed Hodge module structure on the local cohomology sheaves of $X$. As a consequence, we prove that the singular cohomology of a proper…
This paper gives an explicit computation of the category of constructible sheaves on a toric variety (with respect to the stratification by torus orbits). Over the complex numbers, this simplifies a description due to Braden and Lunts. The…
We prove that the quadratically enriched count of rational curves in a smooth toric del Pezzo surface passing through $k$-rational points and pairs of conjugate points in quadratic field extensions $k\subset k(\sqrt{d_i})$ can be determined…
In a previous paper, we announced a formula to compute Gromov-Witten and Welschinger invariants of some toric varieties, in terms of combinatorial objects called floor diagrams. We give here detailed proofs in the tropical geometry…
In this paper we determine the canonical arithmetic volume of hypersurfaces in smooth projective toric varieties. As a consequence, we prove a generalized Hodge index theorem on hypersurfaces in smooth projective toric varieties.
We outline a strategy for computing intersection numbers on smooth varieties with torus actions using a residue formula of Bott. As an example, Gromov-Witten numbers of twisted cubic and elliptic quartic curves on some general complete…
Curve singularities are classical objects of study in algebraic geometry. The key player in their combinatorial structure is the {\it value semigroup}, or its compactification, the {\it value semiring}. One natural problem is to explicitly…
Recently, a method to compute the implicit equation of a parametrized hypersurface has been developed by the authors. We address here some questions related to this method. First, we prove that the degree estimate for the stabilization of…
We compute the Betti numbers of the geometric spaces associated to nonrational simple convex polytopes and find that they depend on the combinatorial type of the polytope exactly as in the rational case. This shows that the combinatorial…
We discuss an experimental approach to open problems in toric geometry: are smooth projective toric varieties (i) projectively normal and (ii) defined by degree 2 equations? We discuss the creation of lattice polytopes defining smooth toric…
Type-A toric varieties may be obtained as GIT quotients with respect to a torus action with weights corresponding to roots of the group $SL(k)$ for some $k>1$. These varieties appear in various important applications, in particular, as…
The purpose of this paper is to compute the minimal fibering degree of an arbitrary projective toric variety. We prove that it equals the lattice width of the associated polytope. This gives a complete answer to a question asked in a recent…
We discuss an algorithm for the exact sampling of vectors v in [0,1]^N satisfying a set of pairwise difference inequalities. Applications include the exact sampling of skew Young Tableaux, of configurations in the Bead Model, and of…
We discuss methods to construct a polynomial parametrization of some interesting knotted surfaces (knotted spheres, knotted tori and knotted planes) and provide examples.
A translational surface is a tensor product surface constructed from two space curves by translating one along the other. These surfaces are common within geometric modeling and, since their description is parametric, it is desirable to…
We investigate the logarithmic bundles associated to arrangements of hypersurfaces with a fixed degree in a smooth projective variety. We then specialize to the case when the variety is a quadric hypersurface and a multiprojective space to…
We formulate several conjectures which shed light on the structure of Veronese syzygies of projective spaces. Our conjectures are based on experimental data that we derived by developing a numerical linear algebra and distributed…
We study a class of graphs with finitely many edges in order to understand the nature of the formal logarithm of the generating series for Severi degrees in elementary combinatorial terms. These graphs are related to floor diagrams…
We prove a correspondence theorem for singular tropical surfaces in real three space, which recovers singular algebraic surfaces in an appropriate toric three-fold that tropicalize to a given singular tropical surface. Furthermore, we…
In this paper we build an Orlik-Solomon model for the canonical gradation of the cohomology algebra with integer coefficients of the complement of a toric arrangement. We give some results on the uniqueness of the representation of…
