The Quest for Counterexamples in Toric Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss an experimental approach to open problems in toric geometry: are smooth projective toric varieties (i) arithmetically normal and (ii) defined by degree 2 equations? We discuss the creation of lattice polytopes defining smooth toric varieties as well as algorithms checking properties (i) and (ii) and further potential properties, in Particular a weaker version of (ii) asking for scheme-theoretic definition in degree 2.

Combinatorial commutative algebra is a branch of combinatorics, discrete geometry, and commutative algebra. On the one hand, problems from combinatorics or discrete geometry are studied using techniques from commutative algebra; on the other hand, questions in combinatorics motivated various results in commutative algebra. Since the fundamental papers of Stanley (see [13] for the results) and H...
متن کاملCOUNTEREXAMPLES IN CHAOTIC GENERALIZED SHIFTS
In the following text for arbitrary $X$ with at least two elements, nonempty countable set $Gamma$ we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:GammatoGamma$ is an arbitrary self-map. We pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding Devaney, exact Dev...
متن کاملLog geometry and multiplier ideals
I work in combinatorics, algebraic geometry, convex geometry and commutative algebra while staying informed on certain topics in category theory and ring theory. In particular, I focus on toric varieties and singularity theory. The study of toric varieties lies at the intersection of combinatorics, algebraic geometry, convex geometry and integer programming. There is a correspondence between ce...
متن کاملSymplectic Toric Manifolds
Foreword These notes cover a short course on symplectic toric manifolds, delivered in six lectures at the summer school on Symplectic Geometry of Integrable Hamiltonian Systems, mostly for graduate students, held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona in July of 2001. The goal of this course is to provide a fast elementary introduction to toric manifolds (i.e., smooth toric varieties)...
متن کاملBranes and Toric Geometry
We show that toric geometry can be used rather effectively to translate a brane configuration to geometry. Roughly speaking the skeletons of toric space are identified with the brane configurations. The cases where the local geometry involves hypersurfaces in toric varieties (such as P blown up at more than 3 points) presents a challenge for the brane picture. We also find a simple physical exp...
