Abstract

Let DD be a reduced divisor in Pkn\mathbb P^n_k for an algebraically closed field kk of positive characteristic p>0p > 0. We prove that if (Pkn,D)(\mathbb P^n_k, D) is Frobenius liftable modulo p2p^2, then DD is a toric divisor. As a corollary, we show that if there exists a finite surjective morphism f ⁣:YXf\colon Y\to X onto a smooth projective complex variety XX of Picard rank 11 such that (Y,f1(D)red)(Y, f^{-1}(D)_{\mathrm{red}}) is a toric pair, then XX is the projective space and DD is a toric divisor.
