ToricMorphisms

A class of morphisms among toric varieties are described by certain lattice morphisms. Let $N_1$ and $N_2$ be lattices and $\Sigma_1$, $\Sigma_2$ fans in $N_1$ and $N_2$ respectively. A $\mathbb{Z}$-linear map

\[\overline{\phi} \colon N_1 \to N_2\]

is said to be compatible with the fans $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$ if for every cone $\sigma_1 \in \Sigma_1$, there exists a cone $\sigma_2 \in \Sigma_2$ such that $\overline{\phi}_{\mathbb{R}}(\sigma_1) \subseteq \sigma_2$.

By theorem 3.3.4 David A. Cox, John B. Little, Henry K. Schenck (2011), such a map $\overline{\phi}$ induces a morphism $\phi \colon X_{\Sigma_1} \to X_{\Sigma_2}$ of the toric varieties, and those morphisms are exactly the toric morphisms.

Constructors

Generic constructors with specified codomain

toric_morphismMethod
toric_morphism(domain::NormalToricVarietyType, mapping_matrix::ZZMatrix, codomain::NormalToricVarietyType; check=true)

Construct the toric morphism with given domain and associated to the lattice morphism given by the mapping_matrix.

If the codomain is left out, it will be determined whether the image of the domain fan is itself a polyhedral fan. In that case the codomain is assumed to be the associated toric variety.

All checks can be disabled with check=false.

Special attributes of toric varieties

To every toric variety $v$ we can associate a special toric variety, the Cox variety. By definition, the Cox variety is such that the mapping matrix of the toric morphism from the Cox variety to the variety $v$ is simply given by the ray generators of the variety $v$. Put differently, if there are exactly $N$ ray generators for the fan of $v$, then the Cox variety of $v$ has a fan for which the ray generators are the standard basis of $\mathbb{R}^N$ and the maximal cones are one to one to the maximal cones of the fan of $v$.
