# Fano toric varieties¶

This module provides support for (Crepant Partial Resolutions of) Fano toric varieties, corresponding to crepant subdivisions of face fans of reflexive lattice polytopes. The interface is provided via CPRFanoToricVariety().

A careful exposition of different flavours of Fano varieties can be found in the paper by Benjamin Nill [Nill2005]. The main goal of this module is to support work with Gorenstein weak Fano toric varieties. Such a variety corresponds to a coherent crepant refinement of the normal fan of a reflexive polytope $$\Delta$$, where crepant means that primitive generators of the refining rays lie on the facets of the polar polytope $$\Delta^\circ$$ and coherent (a.k.a. regular or projective) means that there exists a strictly upper convex piecewise linear function whose domains of linearity are precisely the maximal cones of the subdivision. These varieties are important for string theory in physics, as they serve as ambient spaces for mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds via constructions due to Victor V. Batyrev [Batyrev1994] and Lev A. Borisov [Borisov1993].

From the combinatorial point of view “crepant” requirement is much more simple and natural to work with than “coherent.” For this reason, the code in this module will allow work with arbitrary crepant subdivisions without checking whether they are coherent or not. We refer to corresponding toric varieties as CPR-Fano toric varieties.

EXAMPLES:

Most of the functions available for Fano toric varieties are the same as for general toric varieties, so here we will concentrate only on Calabi-Yau subvarieties, which were the primary goal for creating this module.

For our first example we realize the projective plane as a Fano toric variety:

sage: simplex = LatticePolytope([(1,0), (0,1), (-1,-1)])
sage: P2 = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=simplex)


Its anticanonical “hypersurface” is a one-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold:

sage: P2.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="all")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
a0*z0^3 + a9*z0^2*z1 + a7*z0*z1^2
+ a1*z1^3 + a8*z0^2*z2 + a6*z0*z1*z2
+ a4*z1^2*z2 + a5*z0*z2^2
+ a3*z1*z2^2 + a2*z2^3


In many cases it is sufficient to work with the “simplified polynomial moduli space” of anticanonical hypersurfaces:

sage: P2.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="simplified")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
a0*z0^3 + a1*z1^3 + a6*z0*z1*z2 + a2*z2^3


The mirror family to these hypersurfaces lives inside the Fano toric variety obtained using simplex as Delta instead of Delta_polar:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta=simplex,
...         coordinate_points="all")
sage: FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="simplified")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 9 affine patches defined by:
a2*z2^3*z3^2*z4*z5^2*z8
+ a1*z1^3*z3*z4^2*z7^2*z9
+ a3*z0*z1*z2*z3*z4*z5*z7*z8*z9
+ a0*z0^3*z5*z7*z8^2*z9^2


Here we have taken the resolved version of the ambient space for the mirror family, but in fact we don’t have to resolve singularities corresponding to the interior points of facets - they are singular points which do not lie on a generic anticanonical hypersurface:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta=simplex,
...         coordinate_points="all but facets")
sage: FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="simplified")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
a0*z0^3 + a1*z1^3 + a3*z0*z1*z2 + a2*z2^3


This looks very similar to our second version of the anticanonical hypersurface of the projective plane, as expected, since all one-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds are elliptic curves!

Now let’s take a look at a toric realization of $$M$$-polarized K3 surfaces studied by Adrian Clingher and Charles F. Doran in [CD2007]:

sage: p4318 = ReflexivePolytope(3, 4318)  # long time
sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=p4318)  # long time
sage: FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface()  # long time
Closed subscheme of 3-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 4 affine patches defined by:
a3*z2^12 + a4*z2^6*z3^6 + a2*z3^12
+ a8*z0*z1*z2*z3 + a0*z1^3 + a1*z0^2


Below you will find detailed descriptions of available functions. Current functionality of this module is very basic, but it is under active development and hopefully will improve in future releases of Sage. If there are some particular features that you would like to see implemented ASAP, please consider reporting them to the Sage Development Team or even implementing them on your own as a patch for inclusion!

class sage.schemes.toric.fano_variety.AnticanonicalHypersurface(P_Delta, monomial_points=None, coefficient_names=None, coefficient_name_indices=None, coefficients=None)

sage: import sage.schemes.toric.fano_variety as ftv

sage.schemes.toric.fano_variety.CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta=None, Delta_polar=None, coordinate_points=None, charts=None, coordinate_names=None, names=None, coordinate_name_indices=None, make_simplicial=False, base_ring=None, base_field=None, check=True)

Construct a CPR-Fano toric variety.

Note

See documentation of the module fano_variety for the used definitions and supported varieties.

Due to the large number of available options, it is recommended to always use keyword parameters.

INPUT:

• Delta – reflexive lattice polytope. The fan of the constructed CPR-Fano toric variety will be a crepant subdivision of the normal fan of Delta. Either Delta or Delta_polar must be given, but not both at the same time, since one is completely determined by another via polar method;
• Delta_polar – reflexive lattice polytope. The fan of the constructed CPR-Fano toric variety will be a crepant subdivision of the face fan of Delta_polar. Either Delta or Delta_polar must be given, but not both at the same time, since one is completely determined by another via polar method;
• coordinate_points – list of integers or string. A list will be interpreted as indices of (boundary) points of Delta_polar which should be used as rays of the underlying fan. It must include all vertices of Delta_polar and no repetitions are allowed. A string must be one of the following descriptions of points of Delta_polar:
• “vertices” (default),
• “all” (will not include the origin),
• “all but facets” (will not include points in the relative interior of facets);
• charts – list of lists of elements from coordinate_points. Each of these lists must define a generating cone of a fan subdividing the normal fan of Delta. Default charts correspond to the normal fan of Delta without subdivision. The fan specified by charts will be subdivided to include all of the requested coordinate_points;
• coordinate_names – names of variables for the coordinate ring, see normalize_names() for acceptable formats. If not given, indexed variable names will be created automatically;
• names – an alias of coordinate_names for internal use. You may specify either names or coordinate_names, but not both;
• coordinate_name_indices – list of integers, indices for indexed variables. If not given, the index of each variable will coincide with the index of the corresponding point of Delta_polar;
• make_simplicial – if True, the underlying fan will be made simplicial (default: False);
• base_ring – base field of the CPR-Fano toric variety (default: $$\QQ$$);
• base_field – alias for base_ring. Takes precedence if both are specified.
• check – by default the input data will be checked for correctness (e.g. that charts do form a subdivision of the normal fan of Delta). If you know for sure that the input is valid, you may significantly decrease construction time using check=False option.

OUTPUT:

EXAMPLES:

sage: diamond = lattice_polytope.cross_polytope(2)
sage: diamond.vertices_pc()
M( 1,  0),
M( 0,  1),
M(-1,  0),
M( 0, -1)
in 2-d lattice M
sage: P1xP1 = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=diamond)
sage: P1xP1
2-d CPR-Fano toric variety covered by 4 affine patches

M( 0, -1)
in 2-d lattice M


“Unfortunately,” this variety is smooth to start with and we cannot perform any subdivisions of the underlying fan without leaving the category of CPR-Fano toric varieties. Our next example starts with a square:

sage: square = diamond.polar()
sage: square.vertices_pc()
N(-1,  1),
N( 1,  1),
N(-1, -1),
N( 1, -1)
in 2-d lattice N
sage: square.points_pc()
N(-1,  1),
N( 1,  1),
N(-1, -1),
N( 1, -1),
N(-1,  0),
N( 0, -1),
N( 0,  0),
N( 0,  1),
N( 1,  0)
in 2-d lattice N


We will construct several varieties associated to it:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square)
sage: FTV.fan().rays()
N(-1,  1),
N( 1,  1),
N(-1, -1),
N( 1, -1)
in 2-d lattice N
sage: FTV.gens()
(z0, z1, z2, z3)

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,8])
sage: FTV.fan().rays()
N(-1,  1),
N( 1,  1),
N(-1, -1),
N( 1, -1),
N( 1,  0)
in 2-d lattice N
sage: FTV.gens()
(z0, z1, z2, z3, z8)

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[8,0,2,1,3],
...         coordinate_names="x+")
sage: FTV.fan().rays()
N( 1,  0),
N(-1,  1),
N(-1, -1),
N( 1,  1),
N( 1, -1)
in 2-d lattice N
sage: FTV.gens()
(x8, x0, x2, x1, x3)

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points="all",
...         coordinate_names="x y Z+")
sage: FTV.fan().rays()
N(-1,  1),
N( 1,  1),
N(-1, -1),
N( 1, -1),
N(-1,  0),
N( 0, -1),
N( 0,  1),
N( 1,  0)
in 2-d lattice N
sage: FTV.gens()
(x, y, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z7, Z8)


Note that Z6 is “missing”. This is due to the fact that the 6-th point of square is the origin, and all automatically created names have the same indices as corresponding points of Delta_polar(). This is usually very convenient, especially if you have to work with several partial resolutions of the same Fano toric variety. However, you can change it, if you want:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points="all",
...         coordinate_names="x y Z+",
...         coordinate_name_indices=range(8))
sage: FTV.gens()
(x, y, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7)


Note that you have to provide indices for all variables, including those that have “completely custom” names. Again, this is usually convenient, because you can add or remove “custom” variables without disturbing too much “automatic” ones:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points="all",
...         coordinate_names="x Z+",
...         coordinate_name_indices=range(8))
sage: FTV.gens()
(x, Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7)


If you prefer to always start from zero, you will have to shift indices accordingly:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points="all",
...         coordinate_names="x Z+",
...         coordinate_name_indices=[0] + range(7))
sage: FTV.gens()
(x, Z0, Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6)

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points="all",
...         coordinate_names="x y Z+",
...         coordinate_name_indices=[0]*2 + range(6))
sage: FTV.gens()
(x, y, Z0, Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5)


So you always can get any names you want, somewhat complicated default behaviour was designed with the hope that in most cases you will have no desire to provide different names.

Now we will use the possibility to specify initial charts:

sage: charts = [(0,1), (1,3), (3,2), (2,0)]


(these charts actually form exactly the face fan of our square)

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,4],
...         charts=charts)
sage: FTV.fan().rays()
N(-1,  1),
N( 1,  1),
N(-1, -1),
N( 1, -1),
N(-1,  0)
in 2-d lattice N
sage: [cone.ambient_ray_indices() for cone in FTV.fan()]
[(0, 1), (1, 3), (2, 3), (0, 4), (2, 4)]


If charts are wrong, it should be detected:

sage: bad_charts = charts + [(2,0)]
sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,4],
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: you have provided 5 cones, but only 4 of them are maximal!
Use discard_faces=True if you indeed need to construct a fan from
these cones.


These charts are technically correct, they just happened to list one of them twice, but it is assumed that such a situation will not happen. It is especially important when you try to speed up your code:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,4],
...         check=False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
IndexError: list assignment index out of range


In this case you still get an error message, but it is harder to figure out what is going on. It may also happen that “everything will still work” in the sense of not crashing, but work with such an invalid variety may lead to mathematically wrong results, so use check=False carefully!

Here are some other possible mistakes:

sage: bad_charts = charts + [(0,3)]
sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,4],
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: (0, 3) does not form a chart of a subdivision of
the face fan of 2-d reflexive polytope #14 in 2-d lattice N!

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,4],
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: given charts do not form a complete fan!

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[1,2,3,4])
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: all 4 vertices of Delta_polar
must be used for coordinates!
Got: [1, 2, 3, 4]

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,0,1,2,3,4])
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: no repetitions are
allowed for coordinate points!
Got: [0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,6])
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: the origin (point #6)
cannot be used for a coordinate!
Got: [0, 1, 2, 3, 6]


Here is a shorthand for defining the toric variety and homogeneous coordinates in one go:

sage: P1xP1.<a,b,c,d> = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=diamond)
sage: (a^2+b^2) * (c+d)
a^2*c + b^2*c + a^2*d + b^2*d

class sage.schemes.toric.fano_variety.CPRFanoToricVariety_field(Delta_polar, fan, coordinate_points, point_to_ray, coordinate_names, coordinate_name_indices, base_field)

Construct a CPR-Fano toric variety associated to a reflexive polytope.

Warning

This class does not perform any checks of correctness of input and it does assume that the internal structure of the given parameters is coordinated in a certain way. Use CPRFanoToricVariety() to construct CPR-Fano toric varieties.

Note

See documentation of the module fano_variety for the used definitions and supported varieties.

INPUT:

• Delta_polar – reflexive polytope;
• fan – rational polyhedral fan subdividing the face fan of Delta_polar;
• coordinate_points – list of indices of points of Delta_polar used for rays of fan;
• point_to_ray – dictionary mapping the index of a coordinate point to the index of the corresponding ray;
• coordinate_names – names of the variables of the coordinate ring in the format accepted by normalize_names();
• coordinate_name_indices – indices for indexed variables, if None, will be equal to coordinate_points;
• base_field – base field of the CPR-Fano toric variety.

OUTPUT:

TESTS:

sage: P1xP1 = CPRFanoToricVariety(
...       Delta_polar=lattice_polytope.cross_polytope(2))
sage: P1xP1
2-d CPR-Fano toric variety covered by 4 affine patches

Delta()

Return the reflexive polytope associated to self.

OUTPUT:

• reflexive lattice polytope. The underlying fan of self is a coherent subdivision of the normal fan of this polytope.

EXAMPLES:

sage: diamond = lattice_polytope.cross_polytope(2)
sage: P1xP1 = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=diamond)
sage: P1xP1.Delta()
2-d reflexive polytope #14 in 2-d lattice N
sage: P1xP1.Delta() is diamond.polar()
True

Delta_polar()

Return polar of Delta().

OUTPUT:

• reflexive lattice polytope. The underlying fan of self is a coherent subdivision of the face fan of this polytope.

EXAMPLES:

sage: diamond = lattice_polytope.cross_polytope(2)
sage: P1xP1 = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=diamond)
sage: P1xP1.Delta_polar()
2-d reflexive polytope #3 in 2-d lattice M
sage: P1xP1.Delta_polar() is diamond
True
sage: P1xP1.Delta_polar() is P1xP1.Delta().polar()
True

anticanonical_hypersurface(**kwds)

Return an anticanonical hypersurface of self.

Note

The returned hypersurface may be actually a subscheme of another CPR-Fano toric variety: if the base field of self does not include all of the required names for generic monomial coefficients, it will be automatically extended.

Below $$\Delta$$ is the reflexive polytope corresponding to self, i.e. the fan of self is a refinement of the normal fan of $$\Delta$$. This function accepts only keyword parameters.

INPUT:

• monomial points – a list of integers or a string. A list will be interpreted as indices of points of $$\Delta$$ which should be used for monomials of this hypersurface. A string must be one of the following descriptions of points of $$\Delta$$:
• “vertices”,
• “vertices+origin”,
• “all”,
• “simplified” (default) – all points of $$\Delta$$ except for the interior points of facets, this choice corresponds to working with the “simplified polynomial moduli space” of anticanonical hypersurfaces;
• coefficient_names – names for the monomial coefficients, see normalize_names() for acceptable formats. If not given, indexed coefficient names will be created automatically;
• coefficient_name_indices – a list of integers, indices for indexed coefficients. If not given, the index of each coefficient will coincide with the index of the corresponding point of $$\Delta$$;
• coefficients – as an alternative to specifying coefficient names and/or indices, you can give the coefficients themselves as arbitrary expressions and/or strings. Using strings allows you to easily add “parameters”: the base field of self will be extended to include all necessary names.

OUTPUT:

EXAMPLES:

We realize the projective plane as a Fano toric variety:

sage: simplex = LatticePolytope([(1,0), (0,1), (-1,-1)])
sage: P2 = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=simplex)


Its anticanonical “hypersurface” is a one-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold:

sage: P2.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="all")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
a0*z0^3 + a9*z0^2*z1 + a7*z0*z1^2
+ a1*z1^3 + a8*z0^2*z2 + a6*z0*z1*z2
+ a4*z1^2*z2 + a5*z0*z2^2
+ a3*z1*z2^2 + a2*z2^3


In many cases it is sufficient to work with the “simplified polynomial moduli space” of anticanonical hypersurfaces:

sage: P2.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="simplified")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
a0*z0^3 + a1*z1^3 + a6*z0*z1*z2 + a2*z2^3


The mirror family to these hypersurfaces lives inside the Fano toric variety obtained using simplex as Delta instead of Delta_polar:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta=simplex,
...         coordinate_points="all")
sage: FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="simplified")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 9 affine patches defined by:
a2*z2^3*z3^2*z4*z5^2*z8
+ a1*z1^3*z3*z4^2*z7^2*z9
+ a3*z0*z1*z2*z3*z4*z5*z7*z8*z9
+ a0*z0^3*z5*z7*z8^2*z9^2


Here we have taken the resolved version of the ambient space for the mirror family, but in fact we don’t have to resolve singularities corresponding to the interior points of facets - they are singular points which do not lie on a generic anticanonical hypersurface:

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta=simplex,

sage: FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         monomial_points="simplified")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
a0*z0^3 + a1*z1^3 + a3*z0*z1*z2 + a2*z2^3


This looks very similar to our second anticanonical hypersurface of the projective plane, as expected, since all one-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds are elliptic curves!

All anticanonical hypersurfaces constructed above were generic with automatically generated coefficients. If you want, you can specify your own names

sage: FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         coefficient_names="a b c d")
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
a*z0^3 + b*z1^3 + d*z0*z1*z2 + c*z2^3


or give concrete coefficients

sage: FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...         coefficients=[1, 2, 3, 4])
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
z0^3 + 2*z1^3 + 4*z0*z1*z2 + 3*z2^3


or even mix numerical coefficients with some expressions

sage: H = FTV.anticanonical_hypersurface(
...     coefficients=[0, "t", "1/t", "psi/(psi^2 + phi)"])
sage: H
Closed subscheme of 2-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 3 affine patches defined by:
t*z1^3 + (psi/(psi^2 + phi))*z0*z1*z2 + 1/t*z2^3
sage: R = H.ambient_space().base_ring()
sage: R

cartesian_product(other, coordinate_names=None, coordinate_indices=None)

Return the Cartesian product of self with other.

INPUT:

• other – a (possibly CPR-Fano) toric variety;
• coordinate_names – names of variables for the coordinate ring, see normalize_names() for acceptable formats. If not given, indexed variable names will be created automatically;
• coordinate_indices – list of integers, indices for indexed variables. If not given, the index of each variable will coincide with the index of the corresponding ray of the fan.

change_ring(F)

Return a CPR-Fano toric variety over field F, otherwise the same as self.

INPUT:

• F – field.

OUTPUT:

Note

There is no need to have any relation between F and the base field of self. If you do want to have such a relation, use base_extend() instead.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P1xP1 = toric_varieties.P1xP1()
sage: P1xP1.base_ring()
Rational Field
sage: P1xP1_RR = P1xP1.change_ring(RR)
sage: P1xP1_RR.base_ring()
Real Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: P1xP1_QQ = P1xP1_RR.change_ring(QQ)
sage: P1xP1_QQ.base_ring()
Rational Field
sage: P1xP1_RR.base_extend(QQ)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: no natural map from the base ring
(=Real Field with 53 bits of precision)

sage: R = PolynomialRing(QQ, 2, 'a')
sage: P1xP1.change_ring(R)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: need a field to construct a Fano toric variety!
Got Multivariate Polynomial Ring in a0, a1 over Rational Field

coordinate_point_to_coordinate(point)

Return the variable of the coordinate ring corresponding to point.

INPUT:

OUTPUT:

• the corresponding generator of the coordinate ring of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: diamond = lattice_polytope.cross_polytope(2)
sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(diamond,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,8])
sage: FTV.coordinate_points()
(0, 1, 2, 3, 8)
sage: FTV.gens()
(z0, z1, z2, z3, z8)
sage: FTV.coordinate_point_to_coordinate(8)
z8

coordinate_points()

Return indices of points of Delta_polar() used for coordinates.

OUTPUT:

EXAMPLES:

sage: diamond = lattice_polytope.cross_polytope(2)
sage: square = diamond.polar()
sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points=[0,1,2,3,8])
sage: FTV.coordinate_points()
(0, 1, 2, 3, 8)
sage: FTV.gens()
(z0, z1, z2, z3, z8)

sage: FTV = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=square,
...         coordinate_points="all")
sage: FTV.coordinate_points()
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8)
sage: FTV.gens()

Note that one point is missing, namely

sage: square.origin()

nef_complete_intersection(nef_partition, **kwds)

Return a nef complete intersection in self.

Note

The returned complete intersection may be actually a subscheme of another CPR-Fano toric variety: if the base field of self does not include all of the required names for monomial coefficients, it will be automatically extended.

Below $$\Delta$$ is the reflexive polytope corresponding to self, i.e. the fan of self is a refinement of the normal fan of $$\Delta$$. Other polytopes are described in the documentation of nef-partitions of reflexive polytopes.

Except for the first argument, nef_partition, this method accepts only keyword parameters.

INPUT:

• nef_partition – a $$k$$-part nef-partition of $$\Delta^\circ$$, all other parameters (if given) must be lists of length $$k$$;

• monomial_points – the $$i$$-th element of this list is either a list of integers or a string. A list will be interpreted as indices of points of $$\Delta_i$$ which should be used for monomials of the $$i$$-th polynomial of this complete intersection. A string must be one of the following descriptions of points of $$\Delta_i$$:

• “vertices”,
• “vertices+origin”,
• “all” (default),

when using this description, it is also OK to pass a single string as monomial_points instead of repeating it $$k$$ times;

• coefficient_names – the $$i$$-th element of this list specifies names for the monomial coefficients of the $$i$$-th polynomial, see normalize_names() for acceptable formats. If not given, indexed coefficient names will be created automatically;

• coefficient_name_indices – the $$i$$-th element of this list specifies indices for indexed coefficients of the $$i$$-th polynomial. If not given, the index of each coefficient will coincide with the index of the corresponding point of $$\Delta_i$$;

• coefficients – as an alternative to specifying coefficient names and/or indices, you can give the coefficients themselves as arbitrary expressions and/or strings. Using strings allows you to easily add “parameters”: the base field of self will be extended to include all necessary names.

OUTPUT:

EXAMPLES:

We construct several complete intersections associated to the same nef-partition of the 3-dimensional reflexive polytope #2254:

sage: p = ReflexivePolytope(3, 2254)  # long time (7s on sage.math, 2011)
sage: np = p.nef_partitions()[1]      # long time
sage: np  # long time
Nef-partition {2, 3, 4, 7, 8} U {0, 1, 5, 6}
sage: X = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=p)  # long time
sage: X.nef_complete_intersection(np)  # long time
Closed subscheme of 3-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 10 affine patches defined by:
a2*z1*z4^2*z5^2*z7^3 + a1*z2*z4*z5*z6*z7^2*z8^2
+ a3*z2*z3*z4*z7*z8 + a0*z0*z2,
b2*z1*z4*z5^2*z6^2*z7^2*z8^2 + b0*z2*z5*z6^3*z7*z8^4
+ b5*z1*z3*z4*z5*z6*z7*z8 + b3*z2*z3*z6^2*z8^3
+ b1*z1*z3^2*z4 + b4*z0*z1*z5*z6


Now we include only monomials associated to vertices of $$\Delta_i$$:

sage: X.nef_complete_intersection(np, monomial_points="vertices")  # long time
Closed subscheme of 3-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 10 affine patches defined by:
a2*z1*z4^2*z5^2*z7^3 + a1*z2*z4*z5*z6*z7^2*z8^2
+ a3*z2*z3*z4*z7*z8 + a0*z0*z2,
b2*z1*z4*z5^2*z6^2*z7^2*z8^2 + b0*z2*z5*z6^3*z7*z8^4
+ b3*z2*z3*z6^2*z8^3 + b1*z1*z3^2*z4 + b4*z0*z1*z5*z6


(effectively, we set b5=0). Next we provide coefficients explicitly instead of using default generic names:

sage: X.nef_complete_intersection(np,  # long time
...         monomial_points="vertices",
...         coefficients=[("a", "a^2", "a/e", "c_i"), range(1,6)])
Closed subscheme of 3-d CPR-Fano toric variety
covered by 10 affine patches defined by:

+ c_i*z2*z3*z4*z7*z8 + a*z0*z2,
3*z1*z4*z5^2*z6^2*z7^2*z8^2 + z2*z5*z6^3*z7*z8^4
+ 4*z2*z3*z6^2*z8^3 + 2*z1*z3^2*z4 + 5*z0*z1*z5*z6


Finally, we take a look at the generic representative of these complete intersections in a completely resolved ambient toric variety:

sage: X = CPRFanoToricVariety(Delta_polar=p,  # long time
...                      coordinate_points="all")
sage: X.nef_complete_intersection(np)  # long time

+ a3*z2*z3*z4*z7*z8*z9*z10*z11*z12 + a0*z0*z2,
b0*z2*z5*z6^3*z7*z8^4*z9^3*z10^2*z11^2*z12*z13^2
+ b2*z1*z4*z5^2*z6^2*z7^2*z8^2*z9^2*z10^2*z11*z12*z13^2
+ b3*z2*z3*z6^2*z8^3*z9^2*z10*z11^2*z12*z13

+ b1*z1*z3^2*z4*z11*z12 + b4*z0*z1*z5*z6*z13
