Gorenstein semigroup algebras of weighted trees and ordered points on the projective line

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We classify exactly when the toric algebras are Gorenstein. These algebras arise as toric deformations of algebras of invariants of the Cox-Nagata ring of the blow-up of n−1 points on mathbbPn−3, or equivalently algebras of the ring of global sections for the Pl"ucker embedding of weight varieties of the Grassmanian Gr2(Cn), and algebras of global sections for embeddings of moduli of weighted points on mathbbP1. As a corollary, we find exactly when these families of rings are Gorenstein as well.


The author studies a class of semigroups \(S_\tau (r)\) associated to a trivalent tree \(\tau \) and to a polytope \({\mathcal P}_\tau (r)\). The main result characterizes when \(K[S_\tau (r)]\) is Gorenstein. The algebras \(K[S_\tau (r)]\) arise as toric degenerations of projective coordinate rings \(C[M_r]\) of moduli of weighted points on the projective line. As a corollary the author finds exactly when \(C[M_r]\) is Gorenstein.
