Title: Toric varieties from distributive lattices
Speaker: | David Wagner |
Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
Room: | MC 5417 |
Abstract:
Given a nite lattice L, consider the ring of complex polynomials in indeterminates indexed by L, modulo the ideal generated by (XaXb-Xa^bXa_b for all a; b 2 L). Hibi showed that this is an integral domain if and only if L is distributive, in which case the corresponding projective variety is toric. We describe the orbit decomposition and singularities of this variety in terms of the poset of join-irreducibles of L, and introduce a class of posets motivated by other questions about its geometry.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
