Abstract: We give equivalent and sufficient criteria for the automorphism group of a complete toric variety, respectively a Gorenstein toric Fano variety, to be reductive. In particular we show that the automorphism group of a Gorenstein toric Fano variety is reductive, if the barycenter of the associated reflexive polytope is zero. Furthermore a sharp bound on the dimension of the reductive automorphism group of a complete toric variety is proven by studying the set of Demazure roots.

Review text

The author studies the automorphism group of a complex complete toric variety, in particular, of a Gorenstein toric Fano variety. He proves the following sufficient conditions for the automorphism group \(\text{ Aut}(X)\) to be reductive: \noindent Let \(X\) be a complete toric variety. If the group of automorphisms of the associated fan has only the origin as a fixed point, then \(\text{ Aut}(X)\) is reductive. \noindent Let \(X\) be a Gorenstein toric Fano variety. If the barycentre of the associated reflexive polytope is the origin, then \(\text{ Aut}(X)\) is reductive. Using the previous work of \textit{Y. Matsushima} [Nagoya Math. J. 11, 53--60 (1957; Zbl 0099.37501)] and \textit{X.-J. Wang, X. Zhu} [Adv. Math. 188, No.1, 87--103 (2004; Zbl 1086.53067)] on the existence of an Einstein-Kähler metric on a smooth Fano manifold, the following result is obtained: Let \(X\) be a nonsingular toric Fano variety with associated reflexive polytope \(P\). Then \(X\) admits an Einstein-Kähler metric if and only if the barycentre of \(P\) is the origin. \noindent The following upper bound on the dimension of \(\text{ Aut}(X)\) is obtained: If \(\text{ Aut}(X)\) is reductive, \(\dim X=d\geq 3\), and \(X\) is not a product of projective spaces, then \(\dim \text{ Aut}(X)\leq d^2-2d+4\). The set of Demazure roots of a complete toric variety plays a crucial role in the author's arguments.
