Describing toric varieties and their equivariant cohomology

Matthias Franz (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Topologically, compact toric varieties can be constructed as identification spaces: they are quotients of the product of a compact torus and the order complex of the fan. We give a detailed proof of this fact, extend it to the non-compact case and draw several, mostly cohomological conclusions. In particular, we show that the equivariant integral cohomology of a toric variety can be described in terms of piecewise polynomials on the fan if the ordinary integral cohomology is concentrated...

Weights in the cohomology of toric varieties

Andrzej Weber (2004)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We describe the weight filtration in the cohomology of toric varieties. We present a role of the Frobenius automorphism in an elementary way. We prove that equivariant intersection homology of an arbitrary toric variety is pure. We obtain results concerning Koszul duality: nonequivariant intersection cohomology is equal to the cohomology of the Koszul complexIH T*(X)⊗H*(T). We also describe the weight filtration inIH *(X).

Étale cohomology and reduction of abelian varieties

A. Silverberg, Yu. G. Zarhin (2001)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

In this paper we study the étale cohomology groups associated to abelian varieties. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an abelian variety to have semistable reduction (or purely additive reduction which becomes semistable over a quadratic extension) in terms of the action of the absolute inertia group on the étale cohomology groups with finite coefficients.
