Derivation Algebras of Toric Varieties
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 December 2007
Abstract
We study the Lie algebra of derivations of the coordinate ring of affine toric varieties defined by simplicial affine semigroups and prove the following results:
Such toric varieties are uniquely determined by their Lie algebra if they are supposed to be Cohen–Macaulay of dimension [ges ] 2 or Gorenstein of dimension =1.
In the Cohen–Macaulay case, every automorphism of the Lie algebra is induced from a unique automorphism of the variety.
Every derivation of the Lie algebra is inner.
