Construction of versal Galois coverings using toric varieties (Q2372378)

As the author mentions, in [\textit{M. Namba}, J. Math. Soc. Japan 41, 391-403 (1989; Zbl 0701.14013)] a construction of a versal \(G\) - covering of dimension equal to the order of \(G\) was given, for any finite group \(G\). In this paper one generalizes partially a result of \textit{H. Tsuchihashi} [Kyushu J. Math. 57, 411--427 (2003; Zbl 1072.14018)], constructing a versal \(G\) - covering of dimension \(n\) for any subgroup \(G\) of GL\((n,{\mathbb Z})\). The main result of the paper is the following: Let \(N\) be a free \(\mathbb Z\)-module, \(\Delta \) a fan in \(N_{\mathbb R}\) and \(X({\Delta})\) the toric variety associated to \(X({\Delta})\). If \(G\) is a subgroup of \(\Aut_{\mathbb Z}(N)\) for which \(\Delta \) is invariant , then \(X({\Delta})\to X({\Delta})/G\) is a versal G-covering.
