Computing the divisor class group of toric varieties over an arbitrary field

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field and let $X$ be a toric variety over $k$, coming from a fan $\Sigma$. If $k$ is algebraically closed, then theorem 4.1.3 of Cox ,Little and Schenck’s Toric Varieties book ...

Toric varieties as hypersurfaces of degree (1, ..., 1) in a product of projective spaces

I wonder if some hypersurfaces of multi-degree $(1, ..., 1)$ in a product of projective spaces are toric, with polytope a union of polytopes of toric divisors of the ambient space. This question is ...

Inverse image Weil divisor on a toric variety as a Cartier divisor

Let $X$ be a normal toric variety over an algebraically closed field and let $D$ be a torus invariant (prime) divisor. Assume $\pi\colon \tilde{X}\rightarrow X$ is a toric resolution of singularities ...

Explicit description of the space of global sections of a torus invariant Weil divisor over a real toric variety

Let $D$ be a Weil divisor on a normal toric variety $X$ with fan $\Sigma$ that is invariant under the action by the torus $T$. Then Proposition 4.3.2 of the textbook Toric Varieties by Cox, Little and ...

Cohomology of divisors on Hirzebruch surfaces

Consider the Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_n = \mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}\oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(n))\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^1$. The Picard group of $\mathbb{F}_n$ is generated by ...

The canonical line bundle of a normal variety

I have heard that the canonical divisor can be defined on a normal variety X since the smooth locus has codimension 2. Then, I have heard as well that for ANY algebraic variety such that the canonical ...

Distinguishing ample divisors by minimally intersecting curves on a smooth projective toric variety

My question has an easily formulated generalization, which I will state first. Let $\sigma \subseteq \mathbf{R}^n$ be a full-dimensional strongly convex polyhedral cone. For each lattice point $m \in \...

Sections of Cartier divisors on toric varieties

Let $X_{\Sigma}$ be a projective toric variety. Consider the total coordinate ring $$S = \mathbb{C}[x_{\rho}\: | \: \rho\in\Sigma(1)]$$ Define $\deg(x_{\rho}) = D_{\rho}$. Now, take a divisor $D = \...
