This paper invents the notion of torified varieties: A torification of a scheme is a decomposition of the scheme into split tori. A torified variety is a reduced scheme of finite type over $\Z$ that admits a torification. Toric varieties,…
Smooth projective varieties $X$ over a finite field $k$ with $CH_0(X\otimes \bar{k(X)})=\mathbb Z$ have a rational point, in particular Fano varieties. We also refer to http://link.springer.de/link/service/journals/00222/tocs.htm where the…
Given an action of a reductive group on a normal variety, we construct all invariant open subsets admitting a good quotient with a quasiprojective or a divisorial quotient space. Our approach extends known constructions like Mumford's…
We analyse the dynamics of the pullback of the map $z \longmapsto z^m$ on the complex tori and toric varieties. We will observe that tropical objects naturally appear in the limit, and review several theorems in tropical geometry.
In this paper, we investigate birational toric morphisms between quantum toric stacks -- namely, toric (analytic) stacks associated with fans whose cones may be irrational -- focusing on two primary classes of examples: weighted blow-ups…
We calculate the Riemann curvature tensor and sectional curvature for the Lie group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the Klein bottle and projective plane. In particular, we investigate the sign of the sectional curvature, and find a…
In this note we introduce the concept of reflective projective varieties. These are stratified projective varieties with certain dimension constraints on their dual varieties. We prove that for such varieties, the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson…
We prove that small deformations of a projective variety of general type are also projective varieties of general type, with the same plurigenera. Version 2: small changes in first half. Improved version of the second half is now a separate…
We study toric varieties over a field k that split in a Galois extension K/k using Galois cohomology with coefficients in the toric automorphism group. Part of this Galois cohomology fits into an exact sequence induced by the presentation…
A foliation is of toric type when it has a combinatorial reduction of singularities. We show that every toric type foliation on (C3, 0), without saddle-nodes, has invariant surface. We extend the argument of Cano-Cerveau, done for the…
We present a graded-geometric approach to modular classes of Lie algebroids and their generalizations, introducing in this setting an idea of relative modular class of a Dirac structure for a certain type of Courant algebroids, called…
This note shows that a certain toric quotient of the quintic Calabi-Yau threefold in projective four-space provides a counterexample to a recent conjecture of Cox and Katz concerning nef cones of toric hypersurfaces.
We introduce a mock toric variety, a generalization of a toric variety. For a non-toric example, Del-Pezzo surfaces are mock toric varieties. These new varieties inherit some properties of mock toric varieties. In application, we give…
Generalizing cones over projective toric varieties, we present arbitrary toric varieties as quotients of quasiaffine toric varieties. Such quotient presentations correspond to groups of Weil divisors generating the topology. Groups…
Tropical geometry yields good lower bounds, in terms of certain combinatorial-polyhedral optimisation problems, on the dimensions of secant varieties. In particular, it gives an attractive pictorial proof of the theorem of Hirschowitz that…
We discuss some variants of cone theorem for movable curves in any codimensions.
New formulas are given for Chow forms, discriminants and resultants arising from (not necessarily normal) toric varieties of codimension 2. Exact descriptions are also given for the secondary polygon and for the Newton polygon of the…
If a toric foliation on a projective Q-factorial toric variety has an extremal ray whose length is longer than the rank of the foliation, then the associated extremal contraction is a projective space bundle and the foliation is the…
We consider some conditions under which a smooth projective variety X is actually the projective space. We also extend to the case of positive characteristic some results in the theory of vector bundle adjunction. We use methods and…
We show that Fourier transforms on the Weyl algebras have a geometric counterpart in the framework of toric varieties, namely they induce isomorphisms between twisted rings of differential operators on regular toric varieties, whose fans…
