| Research Abstract |
We developed the theory of toric varieties from the topological viewpoint. In these several years I worked with Professor Akio Hattori and found that geometrical properies of a torus manifold can be described in terms of a combinatorial object called a multi-fan. In particular, we found a neat formula describing the elliptic genus of a torus manifold in terms of the multi-fan associated with the torus manifold, and obtained a vanishing theorem saying that the level N elliptic genus of a torus manifold vanishes if the 1st Chern class of the manifold is divisible by N. As a corollary of this vanishing theorem, we obtained a result that if the 1st Chern class of a complete toric variety M of complex dimension n is divisible by N, then N must be less than or equal to n+1, and in case N=n+l, M is isomorphic to the complex protective space. This is a toric version of the famous Kobayashi-Ochiai or Mori's theorem.
I invited Taras Panov from Moscow State University for a month and studied the equivariant cohomology of a torus manifold M and the cohomology of its orbit space. As a result, it turned out that when the cohomology ring of M is generated in degree two, the equivariant cohomology of M is a Stanley-Reisner ring and the orbit space of M has the same form as a convex polytope from a cohomological point of view. We also studied the case where M has vanishing odd degree cohomology. It turns out that this case is obtained by blowing down the previous case. Interestingly, the equivariant cohomology of M in this case provides a generalization of the Stanley-Reisner ring. The ring like this was already introduced by Stanley about ten years ago but we may think of our results as giving a geometrical meaning of the ring. Along this line, I proved a conjecture by Stanley about the h-vector of a Gorenstein* simplicial poset. The proof is purely algebraic but the idea stems from topology and this shows a close connection between combinatorics, commutative algebra and topology.
