On the classification of toric Fano 4-folds (Q1296188): Difference between revisions

The author proves that there are exactly 123 types of toric Fano varieties up to isomorphisms. In general, such classification is very complicated as already evident in the 3-dimensional case. So the paper is a big step in higher dimensional geometry. In toric language, such classification is equivalent to that of special simplicial polyhedra. In the recent preprint by \textit{H. Sato} [``Toward the classification of higher dimensional toric Fano varieties''; \url{http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/Math.AG/9911022}], Batyrev's method has been employed and applied to higher dimensional cases (one missing isomorphism class is also added).
