Fano schemes of complete intersections in toric varieties

as studied by Ilten and Zotine. We define the expected dimension for these subschemes, which always gives a lower bound on the actual dimension. Under additional assumptions, we show that these subschemes are non-empty and smooth of the expected dimension. Using tools from intersection theory, we can apply these results to count the number of linear subspaces in

X

when the expected dimension of

F_{k} (X)

is zero.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a projective variety with fix embedding into some projective space \({\mathbb P} ^n\). The \(k\)th Fano scheme of \(X\) is the moduli space of \(k\)-dimensional linear subspaces of \({\mathbb P}^n\) that are contained in \(X\). These schemes were heavily studied, especially in the case when \(X\) is a hypersurface or a complete intersection in \({\mathbb P}^n\). In case when there are only finitely many such spaces such study has enumerative flavour. The authors study Fano schemes for general complete intersections in a fixed projective toric variety. In particular, they define ``expected dimension for these subschemes and in some cases they show that their Fano schemes are non-empty and smooth of the expected dimension. In case when the dimension of Fano scheme is zero they also count the number of connected components.
