Embedding toric varieties in other toric varieties as a real algebraic hypersurface

In the question On a Hirzebruch surface, I've seen that the $n$-th Hirzebruch surface is isomorphic to a surface of bidegree $(n,1)$ in $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^2$. I am trying to answer the ...

Coordinate-symmetric convex polytopes with equal Erhart (quasi)-polynomials

Recall that given a nondegenerate polytope $P \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ which is the convex set of some vectors with integral coordinates, the Erhart polynomial $p_P(t)$ a polynomial such that $p_P(t)$ ...

condition on rational polyhedral cone to guarantee dual cone is homogeneous

Let $\sigma\subseteq \Bbb R^d$ be a full-dimensional rational polyhedral cone which is strongly convex (i.e. $\sigma\cap-\sigma=0$). Definition. The cone $\sigma$ is homogeneous if there are ...

Toric Desingularization Algorithms

There are certainly many algorithms to desingularize toric varieties (e.g https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0411340.pdf). I would imagine in analogy with desingularizing surfaces these all involve blowing up ...

Zeros of Hilbert series of affine toric varieties

Consider a convex rational polyhedral cone $C\subset\mathbb R^m$ with vertex at the origin. Let $X$ be the corresponding affine toric variety, i.e. $\mathbb C[X]=\mathbb C[\mathbb Z^m\cap C^\circ]$. ...

Reference for the notion of polyhedra "degenerations"

Let $P$ be a convex polyhedron and let $P(t)$ be a continuous deformation thereof, such that: a) $P(0)=P$; b) for all $t\in[0;1)$ the polyhedron $P(t)$ is strongly combinatorially equivalent to $P$ (...

Computational complexity of deciding isomorphism of rational polyhedral cones

Let $C,C'$ be rational polyhedral cones in $\mathbb R^n$ both with non-empty interior. Rational means they are generated by vectors with rational entries. One says that $C,C'$ are isomorphic if there ...

Triangulations of polytopes and tilings of zonotopes

Consider a set $A = \{ a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_n \} $ of vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which lie in a common affine hyperplane. Two convex polytopes may be obtained from $A$, namely the convex hull of the ...

Secondary fans and Stanley Reisner ideals

Consider a collection of points $S \subset \mathbb R^d$. I would like to understand all possible fans $\Sigma$ whose support is the cone over $S$: $|\Sigma| = cone(S)$. I have heard that the ...
