Universal Rational Parametrizations and Toric Varieties

چکیده
This note proves the existence of universal rational parametrizations. The description involves homogeneous coordinates on a toric variety coming from a lattice polytope. We first describe how smooth toric varieties lead to universal rational parametrizations of certain projective varieties. We give numerous examples and then discuss what happens in the singular case. We also describe rational maps to smooth toric varieties.

Rational versus Real Cohomology Algebras of Low-dimensional Toric Varieties
We show that the real cohomology algebra of a compact toric variety of complex dimension 2 is completely determined by the combinatorial data of its deening fan. Surprisingly enough, this is no longer the case when taking rational coeecients. Moreover, we show that neither the rational nor the real or complex cohomology algebras of compact quasi-smooth toric varieties are combinatorial invarian...
متن کاملRational Hypergeometric Functions
Multivariate hypergeometric functions associated with toric varieties were introduced by Gel’fand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky. Singularities of such functions are discriminants, that is, divisors projectively dual to torus orbit closures. We show that most of these potential denominators never appear in rational hypergeometric functions. We conjecture that the denominator of any rational hypergeom...
متن کاملClassification of Normal Toric Varieties over a Valuation Ring of Rank One
Normal toric varieties over a field or a discrete valuation ring are classified by rational polyhedral fans. We generalize this classification to normal toric varieties over an arbitrary valuation ring of rank one. The proof is based on a generalization of Sumihiro’s theorem to this non-noetherian setting. These toric varieties play an important role for tropicalizations. 2010 Mathematics Subje...

متن کاملCombinatorial Method in Adjoint Linear Systems on Toric Varieties
For nonsingular varieties, the one-dimensional case is an easy fact in curve theory. The two-dimensional case follows from the work of Reider [16]. In higherdimensional cases, (I) is known for n = 3 [3] and n = 4 [8], and by [1] we know that KX + 1 2 (n2 +n+ 2)D is generated by global sections for all n. Less is known about (II) with one exception: if D is already very ample, then (I) and (II) ...
