We introduce a new construction of towers of algebraic curves over finite fields and provide a simple example of an optimal tower.
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…
We study the category of KM fans - a "stacky" generalization of the category of fans considered in toric geometry - and its various realization functors to "geometric" categories. The "purest" such realization takes the form of a functor…
Toric varieties are a special class of rational varieties defined by equations of the form {\it monomial = monomial}. For a good brief survey of the history and role of toric varieties see [10]. Any toric variety $X$ contains a cover by…
We consider rational varieties with a torus action of complexity one and extend the combinatorial approach via the Cox ring developed for the complete case in earlier work to the non-complete, e.g. affine, case. This includes in particular…
We establish a correspondence between simplicial fans, not necessarily rational, and certain foliated compact complex manifolds called LVMB-manifolds. In the rational case, Meersseman and Verjovsky have shown that the leaf space is the…
Consider the algebraic dynamics on a torus T=G_m^n given by a matrix M in GL_n(Z). Assume that the characteristic polynomial of M is prime to all polynomials X^m-1. We show that any finite equivariant map from another algebraic dynamics…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of P-difference varieties and study the properties of toric P-difference varieties. Toric P-difference varieties are analogues of toric varieties in difference algebra geometry. The category of affine…
We exhibit full exceptional collections of vector bundles on any smooth, Fano arithmetic toric variety whose split fan is centrally symmetric.
For an algebraic torus $T$, the finite central extensions $G$ of $T$ are characterized in terms of ramification theory of regular actions of $G$ on Krull algebras over an algebraically closed base field $K$ of any characteristic.
We describe the intersection complex of any perversity of a toric variety completely in terms of the associated fan. It is described by a finite complex of finite dimensional graded vector spaces which we call graded exterior modules. The…
Several known constructions relate initial degenerations of projective toric varieties and Grassmannians to regular subdivisions of appropriate point configurations. We define a general framework which allows for partial generalizations of…
We find polyhedral divisors corresponding to the torus action of complexity one on affine trinomial hypersurfaces. Explicit computations for particular classes of such hypersurfaces including Pham-Brieskorn surfaces and rational trinomial…
In this paper we study smooth projective varieties and polarized pairs with an action of a one dimensional complex torus. As a main tool, we define birational geometric counterparts of these actions, that, under certain assumptions, encode…
We obtain an explicit expression for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the torus with given ramification type for a small number of ramification points, and conjecture this to be true for an arbitrary number of ramification…
We study canonical bases of a subalgebra ${\bf A}={\mathbb K}[\![f_1,\dots,f_s]\!]\subseteq {\mathbb K}[\![x_1,\dots,x_n]\!]$ over a field ${\mathbb K}$, and we associate with ${\bf A}$ a fan called the canonical fan of $\bf A$. This…
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…
We prove a Galois-type correspondence between compositions of purely inseparable field extensions (including infinite ones) and subalgebras of differential operators. This correspondence can be utilized to establish a connection between…
In this paper, we study the subvarieties of a complex flag variety that are invariant under the action of a maximal torus. Using combinatorial techniques derived from matroid theory, we introduce a decomposition of this variety into affine,…
