Strong rational connectedness of toric varieties

Abstract: In this paper, we prove that: For any given finitely many distinct points

P_{1}, ..., P_{r}

and a closed subvariety

S

of codimension

g e q 2

in a complete toric variety over a uncountable (characteristic 0) algebraically closed field, there exists a rational curve

f : m a t h b b P^{1} o X

passing through

P_{1}, ..., P_{r}

, disjoint from

S s e t m i n u s P_{1}, ..., P_{r}

(see Main Theorem). As a corollary, we prove that the smooth loci of complete toric varieties are strongly rationally connected.
