Combinatorial Construction of Toric Residues
نویسنده
چکیده
The toric residue is a map depending on n + 1 divisors on a complete toric variety of dimension n . It appears in a variety of contexts such as sparse polynomial systems, mirror symmetry, and GKZ hypergeometric functions. In this paper we investigate the problem of finding an explicit element whose toric residue is equal to one. Such an element is shown to exist if and only if the associated polytopes are essential. We reduce the problem to finding a collection of partitions of the lattice points in the polytopes satisfying a certain combinatorial property. We use this description to solve the problem when n = 2 and for any n when the polytopes of the divisors share a complete flag of faces. The latter generalizes earlier results when the divisors were all ample.

A Short Introduction to Toric Varieties
Toric varieties form an important class of algebraic varieties whose particular strength lies in methods of construction via combinatorial data. Understanding this construction has led to the development of a rich dictionary allowing combinatorial statements to be translated into algebraic statements, and vice versa. In this short summary, the basic details of the combinatorial approach to cons...
متن کاملToric varieties: Simple combinatorial and geometrical structure of multipartite quantum systems
We investigate the geometrical structure of multipartite states based on the construction of toric varieties. We show that the toric variety represents the space of general pure states and projective toric variety defines the space of separable set of multi-qubits states. We also discuss in details the construction of single-, two-, three-, and multiqubits states. This construction gives a very...
متن کاملToric Vector Bundles, Branched Covers of Fans, and the Resolution Property
We associate to each toric vector bundle on a toric variety X(∆) a “branched cover” of the fan ∆ together with a piecewise-linear function on the branched cover. This construction generalizes the usual correspondence between toric Cartier divisors and piecewise-linear functions. We apply this combinatorial geometric technique to study the moduli of toric vector bundles with fixed equivariant Ch...
متن کاملToric residue codes: I
In this paper, we begin exploring the construction of algebraic codes from toric varieties using toric residues. Though algebraic codes have been constructed from toric varieties, they have all been evaluation codes, where one evaluates the sections of a line bundle at a collection of rational points. In the present paper, instead of evaluating sections of a line bundle at rational points, we c...
متن کاملKähler Geometry of Toric Varieties and Extremal Metrics
A (symplectic) toric variety X, of real dimension 2n, is completely determined by its moment polytope ∆ ⊂ Rn. Recently Guillemin gave an explicit combinatorial way of constructing “toric” Kähler metrics on X, using only data on ∆. In this paper, differential geometric properties of these metrics are investigated using Guillemin’s construction. In particular, a nice combinatorial formula for the...
