For an affine toric variety $\spec(A)$, we give a convex geometric interpretation of the Gerstenhaber product $\HH^2(A)\times \HH^2(A)\to \HH^3(A)$ between the Hochschild cohomology groups. In the case of Gorenstein toric surfaces we prove…

We show that every reductive subgroup of the automorphism group of a quasi-smooth well formed weighted complete intersection is a restriction of a subgroup in the automorphism group in the ambient weighted projective space. Also, we provide…

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo $p^2$ - we expect that such varieties, after a finite \'etale cover, admit a toric fibration over…

Toric geometry provides a bridge between algebraic geometry and combinatorics of fans and polytopes. For each polarized toric variety (X,L) we have associated a polytope P. In this thesis we use this correspondence to study birational…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the nonsingular projective toric variety associated to the graph cubeahedron of a finite simple graph to be Fano or weak Fano in terms of the graph.

A horospherical variety is a normal $G$-variety such that a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ acts with an open orbit isomorphic to a torus bundle over a rational homogeneous manifold. The projective horospherical manifolds of Picard…

For affine toric varieties, the vector space T1 (containing the infinitesimal deformations) will be interpreted via Minkowski summands of cross cuts of the defining polyhedral cone. This result will be applied to study the deformation…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group. In this note we prove that for a quasi-affine $G$-spherical variety the weight monoid is determined by the weights of its non-trivial $\mathbb{G}_a$-actions that are homogeneous with respect…

For a complete toric variety, we obtain an explicit formula for the localized equivariant Todd class in terms of the combinatorial data -- the fan. This is based on the equivariant Riemann-Roch theorem and the computation of the equivariant…

We give a structure theorem for n-dimensional smooth toric Fano varieties whose associated polytope has "many" pairs of centrally symmetric vertices.

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 prove two new results on the K-polystability of Q-Fano varieties based on purely algebro-geometric arguments. The first one says that any K-semistable log Fano cone has a special degeneration to a uniquely determined K-polystable log…

For a complete, smooth toric variety Y, we describe the graded vector space T_Y^1. Furthermore, we show that smooth toric surfaces are unobstructed and that a smooth toric surface is rigid if and only if it is Fano. For a given toric…

This paper classifies all toric Fano 3-folds with terminal singularities. This is achieved by solving the equivalent combinatoric problem; that of finding, up to the action of GL(3,Z), all convex polytopes in Z^3 which contain the origin as…

We prove that residually finite mapping tori of polynomially growing automorphisms of hyperbolic groups, groups hyperbolic relative to finitely many virtually polycyclic groups, right-angled Artin groups (when the automorphism is…

A dissection of a polygon is obtained by drawing diagonals such that no two diagonals intersect in their interiors. In this paper, we define a toric variety of Schr\"{o}der type as a smooth toric variety associated with a polygon…

Let $R$ be the coordinate ring of an affine toric variety. We show that the endomorphism ring $End_R(\mathbb A),$ where $\mathbb A$ is the (finite) direct sum of all (isomorphism classes of) conic $R$-modules, has finite global dimension.…

In this paper we prove criteria for a nonnormal toric variety to be flexible, to be rigid and to be almost rigid. For rigid and almost rigid toric varieties we describe the automorphism group explicitly.

The main object in this paper is a certain rational convex polytope whose lattice points give a polyhedral realization of a highest weight crystal basis. This is also identical to a Newton-Okounkov body of a flag variety, and it gives a…

We show that for any integer n and any field k of characteristic different from 2 there are at most finitely many isomorphism classes of quadratic morphisms from the projective line over k to itself with a finite postcritical orbit of size…
