Gorenstein braid cones and crepant resolutions

Abstract: To any poset P, we associate a convex cone called a braid cone. We also associate a fan and study the toric varieties the cone and fan define. The fan always defines a smooth toric variety XP, while the toric variety UP of the cone may be singular. We show that XPdashrightarrowUP is a crepant resolution of singularities if and only if P is bounded. Next, we aim to determine when UP is Gorenstein or mathbbQ-Gorenstein. We prove that whether or not UP is (mathbbQ)-Gorenstein depends only on the biconnected components of the Hasse diagram of P. In the case that P has a minimum or maximum element, we show that the Gorenstein property of UP is completely determined by the M"obius function of P. We also provide a recursive method that determines if UP is (mathbbQ)-Gorenstein in this case. We conjecture that UP is Gorenstein if and only if it is mathbbQ-Gorenstein. We verify this conjecture for posets of length 1 and also for posets with a minimum or maximum element.
