Projections of Cones and the Arithmetical Rank of Toric Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
Let IM and IN be defining ideals of toric varieties such that IM is a projection of IN , i.e. IN ⊆ IM . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality IM = rad(IN + (f1, . . . , fs)), where f1, . . . , fs belong to IM . Also a method for finding toric varieties which are set-theoretic complete intersection is given. Finally we apply our method in the computation of the arithmetical rank of certain toric varieties and provide the defining equations of the above toric varieties.

A pr 2 00 5 On toric varieties of high arithmetical rank
We describe a class of toric varieties in the N -dimensional affine space which are minimally defined by N − 2 binomial equations. Introduction The arithmetical rank (ara) of an algebraic variety is the minimum number of equations that are needed to define it set-theoretically. For every affine variety V ⊂ K we have that codimV ≤ araV ≤ N . This general upper bound was found by Eisenbud and Eva...

متن کاملMatchings in simplicial complexes, circuits and toric varieties
Using a generalized notion of matching in a simplicial complex and circuits of vector configurations, we compute lower bounds for the minimum number of generators, the binomial arithmetical rank and the A-homogeneous arithmetical rank of a lattice ideal. Prime lattice ideals are toric ideals, i.e. the defining ideals of toric varieties. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
متن کاملCombinatorics and Quotients of Toric Varieties
This paper studies two related subjects. One is some combinatorics arising from linear projections of polytopes and fans of cones. The other is quotient varieties of toric varieties. The relation is that projections of polytopes are related to quotients of projective toric varieties and projection of fans are related to quotients of general toric varieties. Despite its relation to geometry the ...
متن کاملArithmetical Rank of Toric Ideals Associated to Graphs
Let IG ⊂ K[x1, . . . , xm] be the toric ideal associated to a finite graph G. In this paper we study the binomial arithmetical rank and the Ghomogeneous arithmetical rank of IG in 2 cases: (1) G is bipartite, (2) IG is generated by quadratic binomials. In both cases we prove that the binomial arithmetical rank and the G-arithmetical rank coincide with the minimal number of generators of IG.
