Simple normal crossing varieties with prescribed dual complex

Algebraic Geometry 2013-01-08 v1

Abstract

We prove that every simplicial complex is the dual complex of some simple normal crossing divisor in a smooth variety. As an application, we simplify and extend the results of Kapovich--Koll\'ar (math.AG:1109.4047) on the existence of singularities with given dual complex.
