On toric and toroidal foliations
Chih-Wei Chang, Yen-An Chen
TL;DR
This work develops toric descriptions for foliations on toric varieties, introducing toroidal foliations and extended complexes to capture non-toric perturbations. It proves that the toric foliated minimal model program preserves key singularities such as non-dicritical and F-dlt, using discrepancy data $a(E,\mathcal{F},D)$ and support functions $\phi_{(\mathcal F,D)}$ to control birational steps. A cone theorem for log canonical toric foliated pairs is established, showing the negative part of the cone is generated by torus-invariant curves tangent to ${\mathcal F_W}$. Collectively, these results extend FMMP to toric foliations of arbitrary rank and dimension and clarify how singularities relate under toroidal/toric operations within the extended complex framework.
Abstract
In this paper, we provide toric descriptions for various foliation singularities on toric varieties, especially for non-dicritical singularities and F-dlt singularities. We then show that the toric foliated minimal model program works by demonstrating that non-dicritical singularities and F-dlt singularities are preserved.
