Secant Varieties of Toric Varieties

If X is a smooth projective toric variety of dimension n we give explicit conditions on characters of the torus giving an embedding X →֒ Pr that guarantee dimSecX = 2n+ 1. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for a general point of SecX to lie on a unique secant line when X is embedded into Pr using a complete linear system. For X of dimension 2 and 3 we give formulas for deg SecX in...

Toric Varieties

4.1.5. The weighted projective space P(q0, . . . ,qn), gcd(q0, . . . ,qn) = 1, is built from a fan in N = Z/Z(q0, . . . ,qn). Let ui ∈ N be the image of ei ∈ Z . The dual lattice is M = {(a0, . . . ,an) ∈ Z n+1 | a0q0+ · · ·+anqn = 0}. Also assume that gcd(q0, . . . , q̂i, . . . ,qn) = 1 for i = 0, . . . ,n. (a) Prove that the ui are the primitive ray generators of the fan giving P(q0, . . . ,qn...

Endomotives of Toric Varieties

We construct endomotives associated to toric varieties, in terms of the decomposition of a toric variety into torus orbits and the action of a semigroup of toric morphisms. We show that the endomotives can be endowed with time evolutions and we discuss the resulting quantum statistical mechanical systems. We show that in particular, one can construct a time evolution related to the logarithmic ...

Extensions of Toric Varieties

In this paper, we introduce the notion of “extension” of a toric variety and study its fundamental properties. This gives rise to infinitely many toric varieties with a special property, such as being set theoretic complete intersection or arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (Gorenstein) and having a Cohen-Macaulay tangent cone or a local ring with non-decreasing Hilbert function, from just one singl...
