Can all unit-distance graphs have their vertices at algebraic integers?
A graph $G$ is described as a unit-distance graph if there exists a function $f:G \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ such that for every edge $(u,v) \in E(G)$, we have $|f(u) - f(v)| = 1$.
Obviously, we can ...

From convex polytopes to toric varieties: the constructions of Davis and Januszkiewicz
One of the most useful tools in the study of convex polytopes is to move from polytopes (through their fans) to toric varieties and see how properties of the associated toric variety reflects back on ...
