Abstract: Let X be a nonsingular complex projective toric variety. We address the question of semi-stability as well as stability for the tangent bundle TX. In particular, a complete answer is given when X is a Fano toric variety of dimension four with Picard number at most two, complementing earlier work of Nakagawa. We also give an infinite set of examples of Fano toric varieties for which TX is unstable; the dimensions of this collection of varieties are unbounded. Our method is based on the equivariant approach initiated by Klyachko and developed further by Perling and Kool.


Let \(X\) be a non-singular complex projective toric variety. In this article, the authors obtain various results on the stability and semi-stability of tangent bundle \(TX\) of such varieties. Their main results are as follows: \begin{itemize} \item[1.] Let \(X\) be the Hirzebruch surface obtained by projectivization of the bundle \(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n} \oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(-m).\) The tangent bundle of \(X\) is unstable with respect to every polarization if \(m \geq 2\) (Theorem 6.2). \item[2.] In Theorem 7.1, they provide an alternate proof of the result that \(T\mathbb{P}^n\) is stable with respect to the anti-canonical polarization. \item[3.] In Theorem 8.1, authors prove that the tangent bundle of the Fano toric variety \(\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n} \oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(-m))\), where \(0 < m \leq n-1\) and \(n \geq 3\) is unstable with respect to the anti-canonical polarization. \item In Theorem 9.3, the question of semi-stability of the tangent bundle is completely solved for Fano toric 4-folds with Picard number \(\leq 2.\) \end{itemize}
