On the fundamental group of real toric varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
Let X(∆) be the real toric variety associated to a smooth fan ∆. The main purpose of this article is: (i) to determine the fundamental group and the universal cover of X(∆), (ii) to give necessary and sufficient conditions on ∆ under which π1(X(∆)) is abelian, (iii) to give necessary and sufficient conditions on ∆ under which X(∆) is aspherical, and when ∆ is complete, (iv) to give necessary and sufficient conditions for C∆ to be a K(π,1) space where C∆ is the complement of a real subspace arrangement associated to ∆.

Toric Kempf–Ness sets
In the theory of algebraic group actions on affine varieties, the concept of a Kempf– Ness set is used to replace the categorical quotient by the quotient with respect to a maximal compact subgroup. Using recent achievements of “toric topology,” we show that an appropriate notion of a Kempf–Ness set exists for a class of algebraic torus actions on quasiaffine varieties (coordinate subspace arra...
متن کاملToric ideals, real toric varieties, and the moment map
This is a tutorial on some aspects of toric varieties related to their potential use in geometric modeling. We discuss projective toric varieties and their ideals, as well as real toric varieties and the moment map. In particular, we explain the relation between linear precision and the moment map.

متن کاملOn the Hodge structure of degenerating hypersurfaces in toric varieties
We introduce an algebraic method for describing the Hodge filtration of degenerating hypersurfaces in projective toric varieties. For this purpose, we show some fundamental properties of logarithmic differential forms on proper equivariant morphisms of toric varieties.
متن کاملRational 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...
