Abstract: We investigate full strongly exceptional collections on smooth, com- plete toric varieties. We obtain explicit results for a large family of varieties with Picard number three, containing many of the families already known. We also describe the relations between the collections and the split of the push forward of the trivial line bundle by the toric Frobenius morphism.


The leading question of this article is King's conjecture, whether there exists a full, strongly exceptional collection of line bundles on a toric Fano variety. Toric varieties were classified by \textit{V. Batyrev} [Tohoku Math. J. II. Ser. 43, No. 4, 569--585 (1991; Zbl 0792.14026)] using so-called primitive collections (i.e., minimal sets of rays of the fan which do not form a cone in the fan). The authors restrict to a family of toric varieties of Picard rank three with a certain type of this primitive collections. For these varieties, the authors give an explicit collection of line bundles. To show that it is indeed a strongly exceptional collection, the necessary cohomology vanishing is established by using ideas from \textit{L. Borisov} and \textit{Z. Hua} [Adv. Math. 221, No. 1, 277--301 (2009; Zbl 1210.14006)]. Fullness is deduced by showing explicitly that all line bundles are generated by this collection. Moreover, this article deals with a construction by \textit{A. Bondal} [Oberwolfach Rep. 5/2006, 284--286 (2006; Zbl 1110.14300)] that produces a generating set of line bundles which, in some cases, contains a full, strongly exceptional collection. This construction is done by extending the morphism \(t \mapsto t^m\) of the torus to a morphism on the entire variety. Then the push-forward of a line bundle splits into line bundles. The push-forward can be computed in positive characteristic by an algorithm of \textit{J. F. Thomsen} [J. Algebra 226, No. 2, 865--874 (2000; Zbl 0957.14036)]. The authors adept this algorithm for characteristic zero and show that this construction by Bondal does not always contain such an exceptional collection, even for toric Fano varieties.
