Smooth toric Fano five-folds of index two

Small toric degenerations of Fano threefolds

We classify smooth Fano threefolds that admit degenerations to toric Fano threefolds with ordinary double points.

Remarks on abelian surfaces in nonsingular toric Fano 4-folds

In this paper, we investigate whether the 124 nonsingular toric Fano 4-folds admit totally nondegenerate embeddings from abelian surfaces or not. As a result, we determine the possibilities for such embeddings except for the remaining 21 nonsingular toric Fano 4-folds.

Classification of Toric 2-Fano 4-folds

In this notes we classify toric Fano 4-folds having positive second Chern Character.

Toric Fano varieties with divisorial contractions to curves

In this paper, we obtain a complete classification of smooth toric Fano varieties equipped with extremal contractions which contract divisors to curves for any dimension. As an application, we obtain a complete classification of smooth projective toric varieties which can be equivariantly blown-up to Fano along curves.

Toric $G$-Fano Threefolds

We classify toric Fano threefolds having at worst terminal singularities such that a rank of a $G$-invariant part of a class group equals one, where $G$ is a group acting on the variety by automorphisms.

Mirror Symmetry for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Fano toric varieties

Generalizing the notions of reflexive polytopes and nef-partitions of Batyrev and Borisov, we propose a mirror symmetry construction for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Fano toric varieties.

Toric G-solid Fano threefolds

We study toric G-solid Fano threefolds that have at most terminal singularities, where G is an algebraic subgroup of the normalizer of a maximal torus in their automorphism groups.

Fano Schemes of Lines on Toric Surfaces

We completely describe the Fano scheme of lines for a projective toric surface in terms of the geometry of the corresponding lattice polygon.

Derived Categories of Toric Fano 3-Folds via the Frobenius Morphism

In a work of Costa and Miró-Roig state the following conjecture: Every smooth complete toric Fano variety has a full strongly exceptional collection of line bundles. The goal of this article is to prove it for toric Fano 3-folds.

Derived categories of centrally-symmetric smooth toric Fano varieties

We exhibit full exceptional collections of vector bundles on any smooth, Fano arithmetic toric variety whose split fan is centrally symmetric.

Nef and big divisors on toric weak Fano 3-folds

We show that a nef and big line bundle whose adjoint bundle has non-zero global sections on a nonsingular toric weak Fano 3-fold is normally generated. As a consequence, we see that all ample line bundles on a nonsingular toric weak Fano 3-fold are normally generated. We also show that an ample line bundle whose adjoint bundle has non-zero global sections on a Gorensein toric Fano 3-fold is normally generated. In our proof we do not use full classifications of Fano polytopes.

Toric Fano contractions associated to long extremal rays

We show that a toric Fano contraction associated to an extremal ray whose length is greater than the dimension of its fiber is a projective space bundle.

On deformations of toric Fano varieties

In this note we collect some results on the deformation theory of toric Fano varieties.

Some examples of non-smoothable Gorenstein Fano toric threefolds

We present a combinatorial criterion on reflexive polytopes of dimension 3 which gives a local-to-global obstruction for the smoothability of the corresponding Fano toric threefolds. As a result, we show examples of singular Gorenstein Fano toric threefolds which have compound Du Val, hence smoothable, singularities but are not smoothable.

Numerical obstructions to abelian surfaces in toric Fano 4-folds

Some of the 124 toric Fano 4-folds contain abelian surfaces but most do not: in a few cases it is not known whether they do or not. By elementary methods, with a little computer help, we exclude some more possibilities.

Smooth prime Fano complete intersections in toric varieties

We prove that a smooth well formed Picard rank one Fano complete intersection of dimension at least 2 in a toric variety is a weighted complete intersection.

On the birational geometry of toric Fano 4-folds

We announce a factorization result for equivariant birational morphisms between toric 4-folds whose source is Fano: such a morphism is always a composite of blow-ups along smooth invariant centers. Moreover, we show with a counterexample that, differently from the 3-dimensional case, even if both source and target are Fano, the intermediate varieties can not be chosen Fano.

Exceptional collections on toric Fano threefolds and birational geometry

Bernardi and Tirabassi show the existence of full strong exceptional collections consisting of line bundles on smooth toric Fano $3$-folds under assuming Bondal's conjecture, which states that the Frobenius push-forward of the structure sheaf $\mc O_X$ generates the derived category $D^b(X)$ for smooth projective toric varieties $X$. In this article, we show Bondal's conjecture for smooth toric Fano $3$-folds and also improve their result, using birational geometry.

Terminal toric Fano three-folds with certain numerical conditions

We completely classify the Q-factorial terminal toric Fano three-folds such that the sum of the squared torus invariant prime divisors is non-negative.

On Calabi-Yau compactifications of toric Landau-Ginzburg models for Fano complete intersections

Toric Landau--Ginzburg models of Givental's type for Fano complete intersections are known to have Calabi--Yau compactifications. We give an alternative proof of this fact. As an output of our proof we get a description of fibers over infinity for compactified toric Landau--Ginzburg models.

Toric Fano manifolds of dimension at most eight with positive second Chern characters

We show that any toric Fano manifold of dimension at most eight with the positive second Chern character is isomorphic to the projective space by using polymake.

Toric varieties whose blow-up at a point is Fano

We classify smooth toric Fano varieties of dimension $n\geq 3$ containing a toric divisor isomorphic to $\PP^{n-1}$. As a consequence of this classification, we show that any smooth complete toric variety $X$ of dimension $n\geq 3$ with a $T$-fixed point $x\in X$ such that the blow-up $B_x(X)$ of $X$ at $x$ is Fano is isomorphic either to $\PP^n$ or to the blow-up of $\PP^n$ along a $\PP^{n-2}$. As expected, such results are proved using toric Mori theory due to Reid.

Toric Degenerations of Fano Threefolds Giving Weak Landau-Ginzburg Models

We show that every rank one smooth Fano threefold has a weak Landau-Ginzburg model coming from a toric degeneration. The fibers of these Landau-Ginzburg models can be compactified to K3 surfaces with Picard lattice of rank 19. We also show that any smooth Fano variety of arbitrary dimension which is a complete intersection of Cartier divisors in weighted projective space has a very weak Landau-Ginzburg model coming from a toric degeneration.

Hilbert Schemes and Toric Degenerations for Low Degree Fano Threefolds

For fixed degree $d\leq 12$, we study the Hilbert scheme of degree $d$ smooth Fano threefolds in their anticanonical embeddings. We use this to classify all possible degenerations of these varieties to toric Fano varieties with at most canonical Gorenstein singularities.

Four-dimensional Fano toric complete intersections

We find at least 527 new four-dimensional Fano manifolds, each of which is a complete intersection in a smooth toric Fano manifold.

Tilting Bundles on Toric Fano Fourfolds

This paper constructs tilting bundles obtained from full strong exceptional collections of line bundles on all smooth $4$-dimensional toric Fano varieties. The tilting bundles lead to a large class of explicit Calabi-Yau-$5$ algebras, obtained as the corresponding rolled-up helix algebra. A database of the full strong exceptional collections can be found in the package QuiversToricVarieties for the computer algebra system Macaulay2.

Toric Fano varieties and birational morphisms

In this paper we study smooth toric Fano varieties using primitive relations and toric Mori theory. We show that for any irreducible invariant divisor D in a toric Fano variety X, we have $0\leqρ_X-ρ_D\leq 3$, for the difference of the Picard numbers of X and D. Moreover, if $ρ_X-ρ_D>0$ (with some additional hypotheses if $ρ_X-ρ_D=1$), we give an explicit birational description of X. Using this result, we show that when dim X=5, we have $ρ_X\leq 9$. In the second part of the paper, we study equivariant birational morphisms f whose source is Fano. We give some general results, and in dimension …

The minimal projective bundle dimension and toric $2$-Fano manifolds

Motivated by the problem of classifying toric $2$-Fano manifolds, we introduce a new invariant for smooth projective toric varieties, the minimal projective bundle dimension. This invariant $m(X)\in\{1, \dots,\dim(X)\}$ captures the minimal degree of a dominating family of rational curves on $X$ or, equivalently, the minimal length of a centrally symmetric primitive relation for the fan of $X$. We classify smooth projective toric varieties with $m(X)\geq \dim(X)-2$, and show that projective spaces are the only $2$-Fano manifolds among smooth projective toric varieties with $m(X)\in\{1, \dim(X)…

Classification of full exceptional collections on smooth toric Fano varieties with Picard rank two

In this paper, we give the complete classification of full exceptional collections on smooth toric Fano threefolds and fourfolds with Picard rank two. To be precise, we give a partial answer to the conjecture in \cite{Kuz} and \cite{LYY}: we provide all the exceptional collections of maximal length and prove that they are in fact full exceptional collections.

Calabi-Yau compactifications of toric Landau-Ginzburg models for smooth Fano threefolds

We prove that smooth Fano threefolds have toric Landau--Ginzburg models. More precise, we prove that their Landau--Ginzburg models, presented as Laurent polynomials, admit compactifications to families of K3 surfaces, and we describe their fibers over infinity. We also give an explicit construction of Landau--Ginzburg models for del Pezzo surfaces and any divisors on them.

Generalized GCD for toric Fano varieties

We study the greatest common divisor problem for torus invariant blowing-up morphisms of nonsingular toric Fano varieties. Our main result applies the theory of Okounkov bodies together with an arithmetic form of Cartan's Second Main theorem, which has been established by Ru and Vojta. It also builds on Silverman's geometric concept of greatest common divisor. As a special case of our results, we deduce a bound for the generalized greatest common divisor of pairs of nonzero algebraic numbers.

On strong exceptional collections of line bundles of maximal length on Fano toric Deligne-Mumford stacks

We study strong exceptional collections of line bundles on Fano toric Deligne-Mumford stacks $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbfΣ}$ with rank of Picard group at most two. We prove that any strong exceptional collection of line bundles generates the derived category of $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbfΣ}$, as long as the number of elements in the collection equals the rank of the (Grothendieck) $K$-theory group of $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbfΣ}$.

Bounds on the Picard rank of toric Fano varieties with minimal curve constraints

We study the Picard rank of smooth toric Fano varieties possessing families of minimal rational curves of given degree. We discuss variants of a conjecture of Chen-Fu-Hwang and prove a version of their statement that recovers the original conjecture in sufficiently high dimension. We also prove new cases of the original conjecture for high degrees in all dimensions. Our main tools come from toric Mori theory and the combinatorics of Fano polytopes.

On deformation spaces of toric singularities and on singularities of K-moduli of Fano varieties

Firstly, we see that the bases of the miniversal deformations of isolated $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein toric singularities are quite restricted. In particular, we classify the analytic germs of embedding dimension $\leq 2$ which are the bases of the miniversal deformations of isolated $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein toric singularities. Secondly, we show that the deformation spaces of isolated Gorenstein toric $3$-fold singularities appear, in a weak sense, as singularities of the K-moduli stack of K-semistable Fano varieties of every dimension $\geq 3$. As a consequence, we prove that the number of local …

Projecting Fanos in the mirror

In the paper "Birational geometry via moduli spaces" by I. Cheltsov, L. Katzarkov, and V. Przyjalkowski a new structure connecting toric degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds by projections was introduced; using Mirror Symmetry these connections were transferred to the side of Landau--Ginzburg models. In the paper mentioned above a nice way to connect of Picard rank one Fano threefolds was found. We apply this approach to all smooth Fano threefolds, connecting their degenerations by toric basic links. In particular, we find a lot of Gorenstein toric degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds we…

Families of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric varieties

We provide a sufficient condition for a general hypersurface in a $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric variety to be a Calabi-Yau variety in terms of its Newton polytope. Moreover, we define a generalization of the Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz construction in case the ambient is a $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric variety with torsion free class group and the defining polynomial is not necessarily of Delsarte type. Finally, we introduce a duality between families of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces which includes both Batyrev and Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz mirror constructions. This is given in terms of a polar duality between pairs …

Deformations of Calabi-Yau manifolds in Fano toric varieties

In this article, we investigate deformations of a Calabi-Yau manifold $Z$ in a toric variety $F$, possibly not smooth. In particular, we prove that the forgetful morphism from the Hilbert functor $H^F_Z$ of infinitesimal deformations of $Z$ in $F$ to the functor of infinitesimal deformations of $Z$ is smooth. This implies the smoothness of $H^F_Z $ at the corresponding point in the Hilbert scheme. Moreover, we give some examples and include some computations on the Hodge numbers of Calabi-Yau manifolds in Fano toric varieties.

$\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefolds and Laurent inversion

We construct families of non-toric $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal Fano ($\mathbb{Q}$-Fano) threefolds of codimension $\geq 20$ corresponding to 54 mutation classes of rigid maximally mutable Laurent polynomials. From the point of view of mirror symmetry, they are the highest codimension (non-toric) $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties for which we can currently establish the Fano/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence. We construct 46 additional $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefolds with codimensions of new examples ranging between 19 and 10. Some of these varieties will be presented as toric complete intersections, a…

Toric Fano varieties associated to building sets

We characterize building sets whose associated nonsingular projective toric varieties are Fano. Furthermore, we show that all such toric Fano varieties are obtained from smooth Fano polytopes associated to finite directed graphs.

This article gives an overview of toric Fano and toric weak Fano varieties associated to graphs and building sets. We also study some properties of such toric Fano varieties and discuss related topics.

Toric Degenerations and the Laurent polynomials related to Givental's Landau-Ginzburg models

For an appropriate class of Fano complete intersections in toric varieties, we prove that there is a concrete relationship between degenerations to specific toric subvarieties and expressions for Givental's Landau-Ginzburg models as Laurent polynomials. As a result, we show that Fano varieties presented as complete intersections in partial flag manifolds admit degenerations to Gorenstein toric weak Fano varieties, and their Givental Landau-Ginzburg models can be expressed as corresponding Laurent polynomials. We also use this to show that all of the Laurent polynomials obtained by Coates, Kasp…
