Toric Fano varieties with divisorial contractions to curves
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we obtain a complete classification of smooth toric Fano varieties equipped with extremal contractions which contract divisors to curves for any dimension. As an application, we obtain a complete classification of smooth projective toric varieties which can be equivariantly blown-up to Fano along curves.

Quotients of Divisorial Toric Varieties
We consider subtorus actions on divisorial toric varieties. Here divisoriality means that the variety has many Cartier divisors like quasiprojective and smooth ones. We characterize when a subtorus action on such a toric variety admits a categorical quotient in the category of divisorial varieties. Our result generalizes previous statements for the quasiprojective case. A first step in the proo...
متن کاملGluing Affine Torus Actions via Divisorial Fans
Generalizing the passage from a fan to a toric variety, we provide a combinatorial approach to construct arbitrary effective torus actions on normal, algebraic varieties. Based on the notion of a “proper polyhedral divisor” introduced in earlier work, we develop the concept of a “divisorial fan” and show that these objects encode the equivariant gluing of affine varieties with torus action. We ...
متن کاملCentrally symmetric generators in toric Fano varieties
We give a structure theorem for n-dimensional smooth toric Fano varieties whose associated polytope has “many” pairs of centrally symmetric vertices. Introduction. Smooth toric Fano varieties, together with their equivariant birational contractions, have been intensively studied in recent years: see [WW82, Bat82, Bat99, Sat00, Bon00, Cas01b, Cas01c, Sat02]. In some cases, the toric case has bee...
متن کاملToward the classification of higher-dimensional toric Fano varieties
The purpose of this paper is to give basic tools for the classification of nonsingular toric Fano varieties by means of the notions of primitive collections and primitive relations due to Batyrev. By using them we can easily deal with equivariant blow-ups and blow-downs, and get an easy criterion to determine whether a given nonsingular toric variety is a Fano variety or not. As applications of...
متن کاملToric Fano Varieties Associated to Building Sets
We characterize building sets whose associated nonsingular projective toric varieties are Fano. Furthermore, we show that all such toric Fano varieties are obtained from smooth Fano polytopes associated to finite directed graphs.
