In this article we describe the $T_{comp}$-equivariant topological $K$-ring of a $T$-{\it cellular} complete toric variety. We further show that $K_{T_{comp}}^0(X)$ is isomorphic as an $R(T_{comp})$-algebra to the ring of piecewise Laurent…

Let X \subset Proj(V) be a projective spherical G-variety, where V is a finite dimensional G-module and G = SP(2n, C). In this paper, we show that X can be deformed, by a flat deformation, to the toric variety corresponding to a convex…

Let $K$ be a field and $\sigma$ an automorphism of $K$ of order $n$.Employing a nonassociative algebra, we study the eigenspace of a bounded skew polynomial $f\in K[t;\sigma]$. We mainly treat the case that $K/F$ is a cyclic field extension…

In this paper we show a method for computing the set of twists of a non-singular projective curve defined over an arbitrary (perfect) field $k$. The method is based on a correspondence between twists and solutions to a Galois embedding…

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…
