Strong rational connectedness of toric varieties (Q2391571)

A variety is rationally connected if there is a rational curve passing through two general points, and strongly rationally connected if there is a rational curve passing through every two points. The notion of strong rational connectedness was introduced by \textit{B. Hassett} and \textit{Y. Tschinkel} with an eye towards applications to weak approximation problems over function fields [Pure Appl. Math. Q. 4, No. 3, 743--766 (2008; Zbl 1160.14040)]. \textit{C. Xu} proved that the smooth locus of log del Pezzo surfaces is strongly rationally connected [J. Reine Angew. Math. 665, 189--205 (2012; Zbl 1246.14064)]. The paper proves the strong rational connectedness of the smooth locus of toric varieties.
