We survey some results on toric topology.
The polytopic definition introduced recently describing the topology of manifolds is used to formulate a generating function pertinent to its topological properties. In particular, a polynomial in terms of one variable and a tori underlying…
Let X be a complete toric variety of dimension n and \del the fan in a lattice N associated to X. For each cone \sigma of \del there corresponds an orbit closure V(\sigma) of the action of complex torus on X. The homology classes…
We show that the height of a toric variety with respect to a toric metrized line bundle can be expressed as the integral over a polytope of a certain adelic family of concave functions. To state and prove this result, we study the Arakelov…
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…
The moment-angle complex Z_K is cell complex with a torus action constructed from a finite simplicial complex K. When this construction is applied to a triangulated sphere K or, in particular, to the boundary of a simplicial polytope, the…
We provide an account of some of the mathematics of Bott periodicity and the Atiyah, Bott, Shapiro construction. We apply these ideas to understanding the twisted bundles of electron bands that underly the properties of topological…
We use homogeneous spectra of multigraded rings to construct toric embeddings of a large family of projective varieties which preserve some of the birational geometry of the underlying variety, generalizing the well-known construction…
We construct endomotives associated to toric varieties, in terms of the decomposition of a toric variety into torus orbits and the action of a semigroup of toric morphisms. We show that the endomotives can be endowed with time evolutions…
The category of (abstract) fans is to the category of monoids what the category of schemes is to the category of rings: a fan is obtained by gluing spectra of monoids along open embeddings. Here we study the basic algebraic geometry of…
We show that the components, appearing in the decomposition theorem for contraction maps of torus actions of complexity one, are intersection cohomology complexes of even codimensional subvarieties. As a consequence, we obtain the vanishing…
We study the enumerative geometry of orbits of multidimensional toric action on projective algebraic varieties and develop a new cyclic differential-graded operad, conjecturally governing the real version of the enumerative geometry of…
Following DeMeyer, Ford & Miranda [DFM93], we define a topology on a fan by declaring open sets to be its subfans. Then, like Kato [Kat94], we make our fans into monoided spaces by associating a sheaf of monoids to each fan. (Our sheaf of…
We describe the cohomology ring of toric wonderful models for arbitrary building set, including the case of non well-connected ones. Our techniques are based on blowups of posets, on Gr\"obner basis over rings and admissible functions.
The paper surveys some new results and open problems connected with such fundamental combinatorial concepts as polytopes, simplicial complexes, cubical complexes, and subspace arrangements. Particular attention is paid to the case of…
Starting from the data of a nonsingular complex projective toric variety, we define an associated notion of toric co-Higgs bundle. We provide a Lie-theoretic classification of these objects by studying the interaction between Klyachko's fan…
Given an arrangement of subtori of arbitrary codimension in a torus, we compute the cohomology groups of the complement. Then, using the Leray spectral sequence, we describe the multiplicative structure on the graded cohomology. We also…
This is the first chapter in our "Toric Topology" book project. Further chapters are coming. Comments and suggestions are very welcome.
In this paper, we prove that there exists an equivalence between 2-category of smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks with torus-embeddings and actions, and the 1-category of stacky fans. For this purpose, we obtain two main results. The first is to…
An analysis of a tower of hidden sectors coupled to each other, with one of these hidden sectors coupled to the visible sector, is given and the implications of such couplings on physics in the visible sector are investigated. Thus the…
