For a variety with a finitely generated total coordinate ring, we describe basic geometric properties in terms of certain combinatorial structures living in its divisor class group. For example, we describe the singularities, we calculate…
The total coordinate ring TC(X) of a normal variety is a generalization of the ring introduced and studied by Cox in connection with a toric variety. Consider a normal projective variety X with divisor class group Cl(X), and let us assume…
In this article we prove, in a simple way, that for any complete toric variety, and for any Cartier divisor, the ring of global sections of multiples of the line bundle associated to the divisor is finitely generated.
In this paper we study the structure of the coordinate ring of an affine ind-variety. We prove that any coordinate ring of an affine ind-variety which is not isomorphic to an affine algebraic variety does not have a countable set of…
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.…
We describe the effective and the big cones of a projective symmetric variety. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient combinatorial criterion for the bigness of a nef divisor on a projective symmetric variety. When the variety is…
In this paper we initiate the study of the total zero-divisor graphs over commutative rings with unity. These graphs are constructed by both relations that arise from the zero-divisor graph and from the total graph of a ring. We…
In the setting of strict wonderful varieties we answer positively to Luna's conjecture, saying that wonderful varieties are classified by combinatorial objects, the so-called spherical systems. In particular, we prove that strict wonderful…
The Cox ring provides a coordinate system on a toric variety analogous to the homogeneous coordinate ring of projective space. Rational maps between projective spaces are described using polynomials in the coordinate ring, and we generalise…
Generalized Cox's construction associates with an algebraic variety a remarkable invariant -- its total coordinate ring, or Cox ring. In this note we give a new proof of factoriality of the Cox ring when the divisor class group of the…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $\Z(R)$ its set of zero-divisors. In this paper, we study the total graph of $R$, denoted by $\T(\Gamma(R))$. It is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $R$ as vertices, and for distinct $x, y\in…
Using the language of T-varieties, we study torus invariant curves on a complete normal variety $X$ with an effective codimension-one torus action. In the same way that the $T$-invariant Weil divisors on $X$ are sums of "vertical" divisors…
A geometrical realization of wonderful varieties by means of a suitable class of invariant Hilbert schemes is given. As a consequence, Luna's conjecture asserting that wonderful varieties are classified by spherical systems, triples of…
We study the ring of sections A(X) of a complete symmetric variety X, that is of the wonderful completion of G/H where G is an adjoint semi-simple group and H is the fixed subgroup for an involutorial automorphism of G. We find generators…
This note describes the subring of the Grothendieck ring of k-varieties generated by smooth conics; finding many zero divisors. The proof uses only elementary projective geometry.
Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and X be a spherical conjugacy class of G. We determine the decomposition of the coordinate ring of X into simple G-modules.
We describe the quantum cohomology ring of a toric Fano variety $X$ in terms of the usual topological cohomology ring for an auxiliary infinite-dimensional scheme. This scheme is a part of an algebro-geometric model for the universal cover…
The cone of a classical group $G$ is an affine $G\times G$-variety. The aim of this note is to initiate its combinatorial study in the cases when $G$ is the complex orthogonal or symplectic group. The coordinate ring of the cone of $G$ is a…
We associate to every divisorial (e.g. smooth) variety $X$ with only constant invertible global functions and finitely generated Picard group a $Pic(X)$-graded homogeneous coordinate ring. This generalizes the usual homogeneous coordinate…
A good contact toric manifold $M$ is determined by its moment cone $C$. We compute the equivariant cohomology ring with $\Z$ coefficient of $M$ in terms of the combinatorial data of $C$. Then under a smoothness criterion on the cone $C$, we…
