Chow Quotients of Toric Varieties as Moduli of Stable Log Maps

چکیده
Let X be a projective normal toric variety and T0 a rank one subtorus of the defining torus of X. We show that the normalization of the Chow quotient X//T0, in the sense of Kapranov-Sturmfels-Zelevinsky, coarsely represents the moduli space of stable log maps to X with discrete data given by T0 ⊂ X.

Equations for Chow and Hilbert Quotients
We give explicit equations for the Chow and Hilbert quotients of a projective scheme X by the action of an algebraic torus T in an auxiliary toric variety. As a consequence we provide GIT descriptions of these canonical quotients, and obtain other GIT quotients of X by variation of GIT quotient. We apply these results to find equations for the moduli space M0,n of stable genus zero n-pointed cu...
متن کاملToric quotients and flips
As my contribution to these proceedings, I will discuss the geometric invariant theory quotients of toric varieties. Specifically, I will show that quotients of the same problem with respect to different linearizations are typically related by a sequence of flips (or more precisely, log flips) in the sense of Mori, which in the quasi-smooth case can be characterized quite precisely. This seems ...
متن کاملQuotients by non-reductive algebraic group actions
Geometric invariant theory (GIT) was developed in the 1960s by Mumford in order to construct quotients of reductive group actions on algebraic varieties and hence to construct and study a number of moduli spaces, including, for example, moduli spaces of bundles over a nonsingular projective curve [26, 28]. Moduli spaces often arise naturally as quotients of varieties by algebraic group actions,...
متن کامل6 Toric Degenerations of Git Quotients , Chow Quotients
The moduli spaceM0,n plays important roles in algebraic geometry and theoretical physics. Yet, some basic properties of M 0,n still remain open. For example, M0,n is rational and nearly toric (that is, it contains a toric variety as a Zariski open subset), but it is not a toric variety itself starting from dimension 2 (n ≥ 5). So, a basic question is: Can it be degenerated flatly to a projectiv...
متن کاملLog Geometry and the Moduli Space of Toric Varieties
In [2], Alexeev constructed a proper moduli space of polarized toric varieties. However, in addition to the main component containing the toric varieties, there were additional irreducible components which were tricky to eliminate in a canonical way. Later, Olsson [1] showed how adding a log structure to the toric varieties under consideration effectively restricted the problem enough to single...
