The purpose of this paper is to give basic tools for the classification of nonsingular toric Fano varieties by means of the notions of primitive collections and primitive relations due to Batyrev. By using them we can easily deal with equivariant blow-ups and blow-downs, and get an easy criterion to determine whether a given nonsingular toric variety is a Fano variety or not. As applications of these results, we get a toric version of a theorem of Mori, and can classify, in principle, all… Expand

SMOOTH TORIC FANO VARIETIES AND THEIR POLYTOPES
My research is chiefly concerned with classifying toric Fano varieties with certain classes of singularities. For the purposes of this brief talk we shall restrict our attention to smooth varieties.Expand
