Normal Toric Varieties
Introduction
We introduce two main types of normal toric varieties, distinguishing between the affine and non-affine case:
AffineNormalToricVariety
is the type for toric varieties associated to a cone $\sigma$, denoted by $U_{\sigma}$ in David A. Cox, John B. Little, Henry K. Schenck (2011)NormalToricVariety
is the type for toric varieties associated to a polyhedral fan $\Sigma$, denoted by $X_{\Sigma}$ in David A. Cox, John B. Little, Henry K. Schenck (2011)
The lattice is always assumed to be the standard lattice $\mathbb{Z}^n$. Transformations for non-standard lattices will have to be done by the user.
Constructors
All of the constructors below accept as their last argument an optional boolean. This boolean set_attributes
controls whether the constructors sets attributes for the constructed variety. The benefit of such setters is increased performance. However, as per usual, a shortcut comes at a price. In the case at hand, it might lead to possible inconsistencies, despite our best efforts to prevent this from happening.
The default is set_attributes = true
, that is our constructors set attributes upon construction. If not desired, it can be switched off by passing set_attributes = false
as last argument. Note however, that the constructors of del_pezzo_surface
, hirzebruch_surface
, projective_space
and weighted_projective_space
always make a default/standard choice for the grading of the Cox ring.
Affine Toric Varieties
affine_normal_toric_variety
— Methodaffine_normal_toric_variety(C::Cone; set_attributes::Bool = true)
Construct the affine normal toric variety $U_{C}$ corresponding to a polyhedral cone C
.
Examples
Set C
to be the positive orthant in two dimensions.
julia> C = positive_hull([1 0; 0 1])
Polyhedral cone in ambient dimension 2
julia> antv = affine_normal_toric_variety(C)
Normal, affine toric variety
normal_toric_variety
— Methodnormal_toric_variety(C::Cone; set_attributes::Bool = true)
Construct the (affine) normal toric variety $X_{\Sigma}$ corresponding to a polyhedral fan $\Sigma = C$ consisting only of the cone C
.
Examples
Set C
to be the positive orthant in two dimensions.
julia> C = positive_hull([1 0; 0 1])

julia> ntv = normal_toric_variety(C)
Normal, affine toric variety
affine_normal_toric_variety
— Methodaffine_normal_toric_variety(v::NormalToricVariety; set_attributes::Bool = true)
For internal design, we make a strict distinction between normal toric varieties and affine toric varieties. Given an affine, normal toric variety v
, this method turns it into an affine toric variety.
Examples
julia> v = normal_toric_variety(positive_hull([1 0; 0 1]))
Normal, affine toric variety
julia> affineVariety = affine_normal_toric_variety(v)
Normal, affine toric variety
Normal Toric Varieties
normal_toric_variety
— Methodnormal_toric_variety(rays::Vector{Vector{Int64}}, max_cones::Vector{Vector{Int64}}; non_redundant::Bool = false, set_attributes::Bool = true)
Construct a normal toric variety $X$ by providing the rays and maximal cones as vector of vectors. By default, this method assumes that the input is not non-redundant (e.g. that a ray was entered twice by accident). If the user is certain that no redundancy exists in the entered information, one can pass non_redundant = true
as third argument. This will bypass these consistency checks. In addition, this will ensure that the order of the rays is not altered by the constructor.

from the affine relations of the lattice points in P

is very ample.

*
— MethodBase.:*(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety, w::AbstractNormalToricVariety; set_attributes::Bool = true)
Return the Cartesian/direct product of two normal toric varieties v
and w
.
By default, we prepend an "x" to all homogeneous coordinate names of the first factor v
and a "y" to all homogeneous coordinate names of the second factor w
. This default can be overwritten by invoking set_coordinate_names
after creating the variety (cf. set_coordinate_names(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety, coordinate_names::Vector{String})
).
Important: Recall that the coordinate names can only be changed as long as the toric variety in question is not finalized (cf. is_finalized(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)
).
Crucially, the order of the homogeneous coordinates is not shuffled. To be more specific, assume that v
has $n_1$ and w
has $n_2$ homogeneous coordinates. Then v * w
has $n_1 + n_2$ homogeneous coordinates. The first $n_1$ of these coordinates are those of v
and appear in the very same order as they do for v
. The remaining $n_2$ homogeneous coordinates are those of w
and appear in the very same order as they do for w
.

normal_toric_varieties_from_glsm
— Methodnormal_toric_varieties_from_glsm(charges::ZZMatrix; set_attributes::Bool = true)
Witten's Generalized-Sigma models (GLSM) Edward Witten (1988) originally sparked interest in the physics community in toric varieties. On a mathematical level, this establishes a construction of toric varieties for which a Z^n grading of the Cox ring is provided. See for example Huijun Fan, Tyler Jarvis, Yongbin Ruan (2017), which describes this as GIT construction David A. Cox, John B. Little, Henry K. Schenck (2011).
Explicitly, given the grading of the Cox ring, the map from the group of torus invariant Weil divisors to the class group is known. Under the assumption that the variety in question has no torus factor, we can then identify the map from the lattice to the group of torus invariant Weil divisors as the kernel of the map from the torus invariant Weil divisor to the class group. The latter is a map between free Abelian groups, i.e. is provided by an integer valued matrix. The rows of this matrix are nothing but the ray generators of the fan of the toric variety. It then remains to triangulate these rays, hence in general for a GLSM the toric variety is only unique up to fine regular star triangulations.

is both complete and simplicial.

Rings and ideals
We support the following rings and ideals for toric varieties:
- Cox ring (also termed the "total coordinate ring" in David A. Cox, John B. Little, Henry K. Schenck (2011)),
- coordinate ring of torus,
- cohomology_ring,
- Chow ring,
- irrelevant ideal,
- Stanley-Reisner ideal,
- ideal of linear relations,
- toric ideal.
Of course, for any of these coordinate names and the coefficient ring have to be chosen. The coefficient ring is fixed to Q
. Therefore, the method coefficient_ring(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)
always return the field of rational numbers. For the coordinate names, we provide the following setter functions:
set_coordinate_names
— Methodset_coordinate_names(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety, coordinate_names::Vector{String})
Allows to set the names of the homogeneous coordinates as long as the toric variety in question is not yet finalized (cf. is_finalized(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)

2-element Vector{String}:

The following methods allow to etract the chosen coordinates:
coordinate_names
— Methodcoordinate_names(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)
Return the names of the homogeneous coordinates of the normal toric variety v
. The default is x1, ..., xn
.
Examples
julia> C = Oscar.positive_hull([1 0]);
julia> antv = affine_normal_toric_variety(C);
julia> coordinate_names(antv)
1-element Vector{String}:
"x1"
coordinate_names_of_torus
— Methodcoordinate_names_of_torus(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)
Return the names of the coordinates of the torus of the normal toric variety v
. The default is x1, ..., xn
.
In order to efficiently construct algebraic cycles (elements of the Chox ring), cohomology classes (elements of the cohomology ring), or in order to compare ideals, it is imperative to fix choices of the coordinate names. The default value for coordinate names is [x1, x2, ... ]
. The choice of coordinate names is fixed, once one of the above-mentioned rings is computed via one the following methods:
cox_ring
— Methodcox_ring(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)
Computes the Cox ring of the normal toric variety v
. Note that David A. Cox, John B. Little, Henry K. Schenck (2011) refers to this ring as the "total coordinate ring".
Examples
julia> p2 = projective_space(NormalToricVariety, 2);
julia> set_coordinate_names(p2, ["y1", "y2", "y3"])
julia> cox_ring(p2)

y1 -> [1]
y2 -> [1]
y3 -> [1]
irrelevant_ideal
— Methodirrelevant_ideal(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)

toric_ideal
— Methodtoric_ideal(antv::AffineNormalToricVariety)
Return the toric ideal defining the affine normal toric variety.
Examples
Take the cone over the square at height one. The resulting toric variety has one defining equation. In projective space this corresponds to $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$. Note that this cone is self-dual, the toric ideal comes from the dual cone.

coordinate_ring_of_torus
— Methodcoordinate_ring_of_torus(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)
Computes the coordinate ring of the torus of the normal toric variety v
.
Examples
julia> p2 = projective_space(NormalToricVariety, 2);
julia> set_coordinate_names_of_torus(p2, ["y1", "y2"])
julia> coordinate_ring_of_torus(p2)
Quotient
of multivariate polynomial ring in 4 variables over QQ
by ideal(y1*y1_ - 1, y2*y2_ - 1)
One can check the status as follows:
is_finalized
— Methodis_finalized(v::AbstractNormalToricVariety)
Checks if the Cox ring, the coordinate ring of the torus, the cohomology_ring, the Chow ring, the Stanley-Reisner ideal, the irrelevant ideal, the ideal of linear relations or the toric ideal has been cached. If any of these has been cached, then this function returns true
and otherwise false
.
Examples
julia> is_finalized(del_pezzo_surface(NormalToricVariety, 3))
false
After the variety finalized, one can enforce to obtain the above ideals in different rings. Also, one can opt to compute the above rings with a different choice of coordinate names and different coefficient ring. To this end, onc provides a custom ring (which reflects the desired choice of coordinate names and coefficient ring) as first argument. However, note that the cached ideals and rings are not altered.
cox_ring
