Any smooth toric threefold contains all curves

چکیده
It is very easy to see that every smooth projective curve can be embedded in P3. Eisenbud and Harris, in conversation, asked whether the same is true if P3 is replaced by an arbitrary smooth rational projective 3-fold X and Eisenbud suggested starting with the case where X is toric. In this note we answer the toric question, affirmatively. For simplicity, we work over the field of complex numbers.

Toric Fano varieties with divisorial contractions to curves
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.
متن کاملWorldsheet Instantons and Torsion Curves Part A: Direct Computation
As a first step towards studying vector bundle moduli in realistic heterotic compactifications, we identify all holomorphic rational curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold X with Z3⊕Z3 Wilson lines. Computing the homology, we find that H2(X,Z) = Z ⊕Z3⊕Z3. The torsion curves complicate our analysis, and we develop techniques to distinguish the torsion part of curve classes and to deal with the non-tor...
متن کاملPatchworking singular algebraic curves, non-Archimedean amoebas and enumerative geometry
We prove new patchworking theorems for singular algebraic curves, which state the following. Given a complex toric threefold Y which is fibred over C with a reduced reducible zero fiber Y0 and other fibers Yt smooth, and given a curve C0 ⊂ Y0, the theorems provide sufficient conditions for the existence of one-parametric family of curves Ct ⊂ Yt, which induces an equisingular deformation for so...
متن کاملAlgebraic topology of Calabi–Yau threefolds in toric varieties
One of the most fruitful sources of Calabi–Yau threefolds is hypersurfaces, or more generally complete intersections, in toric varieties. This is especially true since there is a proposal for the mirror of any such Calabi–Yau threefold. Usually the toric varieties associated to convex lattice polytopes are singular, causing the Calabi–Yau threefolds in them also to be singular, so that to get s...
متن کاملApplied Mori theory of the moduli space of stable pointed rational curves
We investigate questions motivated by Mori’s program for the moduli space of stable pointed rational curves, M0,n. In particular, we study the nef cone of M0,n (Chapter 2), the Cox ring of M0,n (Chapter 3), and the cone of movable curves of M0,6 (Chapter 4). In Chapter 2, we prove Fulton’s conjecture forM0,n, n ≤ 7, which states that any divisor on M0,n non-negatively intersecting all members o...
