Toric Surfaces and Continued Fractions
نویسنده
چکیده
One goal in studying toric varieties is to put general theory in more concrete, combinatorial terms. It is striking that when one considers toric surfaces (obtained from fans in the plane) that continued fractions—an object originating in number theory—pop up in the resolution of singularities. The purpose of this article is to provide an exposition of this phenomenon and other ways in which continued fractions arise in toric geometry.

A Variant of Shokurov’s Criterion of Toric Surface
As a variant of Shokurov’s criterion of toric surface, we give a criterion of two new classes of normal projective surfaces, called pseudo-toric surfaces of defect one and half-toric surfaces. A typical example of pseudo-toric surface of defect one is the blown up of a projective toric surface at a nonsingular point of the boundary divisor. A half-toric surface is the quotient of a projective t...
متن کاملHomological mirror symmetry for toric orbifolds of toric del Pezzo surfaces
We propose a mathematical formulation of the algorithm of Hanany and Vegh [22] to associate quivers with relations to lattice polygons. We study the case of toric del Pezzo surfaces in detail and discuss its relation with coamoebas following Feng, He, Kennaway and Vafa [10]. As an application, we prove homological mirror symmetry for orbifolds of toric del Pezzo surfaces by finite subgroups of ...
متن کاملAn Inequality for Adjoint Rational Surfaces
We generalize an inequality for convex lattice polygons – aka toric surfaces – to general rational surfaces. Our collaboration started when the second author proved an inequality for algebraic surfaces which, when translated via the toric dictionary into discrete geometry, yields an old inequality by Scott [5] for lattice polygons. In a previous article [2], we were then able to refine this est...
متن کاملDeformations of Smooth Toric Surfaces
For a complete, smooth toric variety Y , we describe the graded vector space T 1 Y . Furthermore, we show that smooth toric surfaces are unobstructed and that a smooth toric surface is rigid if and only if it is Fano. For a given toric surface we then construct homogeneous deformations by means of Minkowski decompositions of polyhedral subdivisions, compute their images under the Kodaira-Spence...
متن کاملWeighted Blowups and Mirror Symmetry for Toric Surfaces
This paper explores homological mirror symmetry for weighted blowups of toric varieties. It will be shown that both the A-model and B-model categories have natural semiorthogonal decompositions. An explicit equivalence of the right orthogonal categories will be shown for the case of toric surfaces.
