Gallardo and Routis constructed compactifications of the moduli space of $n$ labeled points in $\mathbb{P}^d$ by assigning weights to points, generalizing Hassett's weighted compactifications of $M_{0,n}$ to higher-dimensional projective…
We study linear degenerations of flag varieties from the point of view of tropical geometry. We define the linear degenerate flag Dressian and prove a correspondence between: $(a)$ points in the linear degenerate flag Dressian, $(b)$ linear…
We investigate the class of degenerations of smooth cubic surfaces which are obtained from degenerating their Cox rings to toric algebras. More precisely, we work in the spirit of Sturmfels and Xu who use the theory of Khovanskii bases to…
We introduce the notion of a $Y$-pattern with coefficients and its geometric counterpart: a cluster $\mathcal{X}$-variety with coefficients. We use these constructions to build a flat degeneration of every skew-symmetrizable specially…
We describe the deformation space of a solid torus with boundary modelled on convex ideal hyperbolic polyhedra. This deformation space is given by natural Gauss--Bonnet type inequalities on the dihedral angles. The result extends to solid…
We present an algebraic method to study four-dimensional toric varieties by lifting matrix equations from the special linear group ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb Z})$ to its preimage in the universal cover of ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb R})$. With this…
Let $(X, \omega, J)$ be a toric variety of dimension $2n$ determined by a Delzant polytope. In this paper, we first construct the polarizations $\shP_{k}$ by the Hamiltonian $T^{k}$-action on $X$ (see Theorem 3.11). We will show that…
We give a definition of Newton non degeneracy independent of the system of generators defining the variety. This definition extends the notion of Newton non degeneracy to varieties that are not necessarily complete intersection. As in the…
In this paper we study the space of morphisms from a complex projective space to a compact smooth toric variety X. It is shown that the first author's stability theorem for the spaces of rational maps from CP^m to CP^n extends to the spaces…
In this survey I summarize the constructions of toric degenerations obtained from valuations and Gr\"obner theory and describe in which sense they are equivalent. I show how adapted bases can be used to generalize the classical Newton…
We study certain toric Gorenstein varieties with isolated singularities which are the quotient spaces of generic unimodular representations by the one-dimensional torus, or by the product of the one-dimensional torus with a finite abelian…
In this paper we study the geometry of toric degeneration of a Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen (BSDH) variety. We give some applications to BSDH varieties. Precisely, we classify Fano, weak Fano and log Fano BSDH varieties and their toric…
We generalize the notion of expanded degenerations and pairs for a simple degeneration or smooth pair to the case of smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks. We then define stable quotients on the classifying stacks of expanded degenerations and…
We construct an explicit, embedded degeneration of the general torus orbit closure in the maximal orthogonal Grassmannian OG(n,2n+1) into a union of Richardson varieties. In particular, we deduce a formula for the cohomology class of the…
We begin a systematic investigation of derived categories of smooth projective toric varieties defined over an arbitrary base field. We show that, in many cases, toric varieties admit full exceptional collections. Examples include all toric…
We investigate Gauss maps of (not necessarily normal) projective toric varieties over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. The main results are as follows: (1) The structure of the Gauss map of a toric variety is…
We determine the set of supports for the flat family of linear degenerations of flag varieties in terms of Motzkin combinatorics.
For an affine toric variety $\mathrm{Spec}(A)$, we give a convex geometric description of the Hodge decomposition of its Hochschild cohomology. Under certain assumptions we compute the dimensions of the Hodge summands $T^1_{(i)}(A)$,…
The main result of this note is that the toric degenerations of flag varieties associated to string polytopes and certain Bott-Samelson resolutions of flag varieties fit into a commutative diagram which gives a resolution of singularities…
Toric geometry provides a bridge between the theory of polytopes and algebraic geometry: one can associate to each lattice polytope a polarized toric variety. In this thesis we explore this correspondence to classify smooth lattice…
