Abstract
Let and be two refinements of a fan and be the birational map induced by . We show that the graph closure is a not necessarily normal toric variety and we give a combinatorial criterion for its normality. In contrast to it, for being a toric flop/flip, we show that the scheme-theoretic fiber product is in general not toric, though it is still irreducible and . A complete numerical criterion to ensure is given for 3-folds, which is fulfilled when has at most terminal singularities. In this case, we further conclude that is normal.
