We survey various notions of symmetry for toric varieties. These notions range from algebraic geometric, complex geometric, representation theoretic, combinatorial, convex geometric, to geometric stability. The main theorem gives the…
We construct toric manifolds of complex dimension $\geq 4$, whose orbit spaces by the action of the compact torus are not homeomorphic to simple polytopes (as manifolds with corners). These provide the first known examples of toric…
In this paper we focus on the tropical convex hull of convex sets and polyhedral complexes. We give a vertex description of the tropical convex hull of a line segment and a ray. %in \RR^{n+1}/\RR\mathbf{1}. Next we show that tropical convex…
We define the notion of complex stratification by quasifolds and show that such spaces occur as complex quotients by certain nonclosed subgroups of tori associated to convex polytopes. The spaces thus obtained provide a natural…
Multi-fan is an analogous notion of fan. As a fan is associated to a toric variety a multi-fan is associated to a torus orbifold. Orbifold elliptic class and orbifold elliptic genus are defined for a triple of a multi-fan, a set of…
We construct and study noncommutative deformations of toric varieties by combining techniques from toric geometry, isospectral deformations, and noncommutative geometry in braided monoidal categories. Our approach utilizes the same fan…
Topologically, compact toric varieties can be constructed as identification spaces: they are quotients of the product of a compact torus and the order complex of the fan. We give a detailed proof of this fact, extend it to the non-compact…
We give a structure theorem for n-dimensional smooth toric Fano varieties whose associated polytope has "many" pairs of centrally symmetric vertices.
A reflexive polytope, respectively its associated Gorenstein toric Fano variety, is called pseudo-symmetric, if the polytope has a centrally symmetric pair of facets. Here we present a complete classification of pseudo-symmetric simplicial…
We classify some special classes of non-rational Fano threefolds with terminal singularities. In particular, all such hyperelliptic and trigonal varieties are found.
An infinite type toric variety is a normal toric variety given by a fan with infinitely many cones. We construct examples in this paper coming from representation theory of loop groups. The fans that appear are cones on Voronoi tilings on a…
We study over a number field, the iterates of automorphisms of the affine space. More precisely, we are interested in the periodic and non-periodic points; for the former the questions are similar to the ones about torsion points on abelian…
We investigate the equivariant intersection cohomology of a toric variety. Considering the defining fan of the variety as a finite topological space with the subfans being the open sets (that corresponds to the "toric" topology given by the…
We give a rigorous definition of tropical fans (the "local building blocks for tropical varieties") and their morphisms. For such a morphism of tropical fans of the same dimension we show that the number of inverse images (counted with…
The Nontrivial Projection Problem asks whether every finite-dimensional normed space of dimension greater than one admits a well-bounded projection of non-trivial rank and corank or, equivalently, whether every centrally symmetric convex…
The anticanonical complex generalizes the Fano polytope from toric geometry and has been used to study Fano varieties with torus action so far. We work out the case of complete intersections in toric varieties defined by non-degenerate…
Cylinders in Fano varieties receives a lot of attentions recently from the viewpoints of birational geometry and unipotent geometry. In this article, we provide a survey of several known et new results concerning the anti-canonically polar…
We present two examples in toric geometry concerning the relationship between toric and quasitoric manifolds, and provide the sufficient conditions on the base polytope and characteristic map so that the resulting quasitoric manifold is…
The map which takes a square matrix $A$ to its polytrope is piecewise linear. We show that cones of linearity of this map form a polytopal fan partition of $\{R}^{n \times n}$, whose face lattice is anti-isomorphic to the lattice of…
Some conjectures and open problems in convex geometry are presented, and their physical origin, meaning, and importance, for quantum theory and generic statistical theories, are briefly discussed.
