In this thesis we study toric Fano varieties. Toric varieties are a particular class of algebraic variety which can be described in terms of combinatorial data. Toric Fano varieties correspond to certain convex lattice polytopes whose boundary lattice points are dictated by the singularities involved. Terminal toric Fano varieties correspond to convex lattice polytopes which contain only the origin as an internal lattice point, and whose boundary lattice points are precisely the vertices of the…

The boundary volume of a lattice polytope
• Mathematics
• 2012
For a d-dimensional convex lattice polytope P, a formula for the boundary volume vol(δP) is derived in terms of the number of boundary lattice points on the first [d/2] dilations of P. As an

It is known that, adding the number of lattice points lying on the boundary of a reflexive polygon and the number of lattice points lying on the boundary of its polar, always yields 12. Generalising
Mirror pairs of Calabi–Yau threefolds from mirror pairs of quasi-Fano threefolds
We present a new construction of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds by smoothing normal crossing varieties, consisting of two quasi-Fano manifolds. We introduce a notion of mirror pairs of
Canonical Toric Fano Threefolds

Abstract An inductive approach to classifying all toric Fano varieties is given. As an application of this technique, we present a classification of the toric Fano threefolds with at worst canonical
Bounds on fake weighted projective space
A fake weighted projective space X is a Q-factorial toric variety with Picard number one. As with weighted projective space, X comes equipped with a set of weights (\lambda_0,...,\lambda_n). We see

For generic r = (r1, … , rn) ∈ ℝ+n$${\mathrm{\mathbb{R}}}_{+}^n$$ the space ℳ(r) of n–gons in ℝ3 with edges of lengths r is a smooth, symplectic manifold. We investigate its Gromov width and prove

• 2009
Abstract We describe the integral equivariant cohomology ring of a weighted projective space in terms of piecewise polynomials, and thence by generators and relations. We deduce that the ring is a
