2 X: smooth projective algebraic variety over C (projective toric manifold) d := dim X Definition 1 X is Fano if K X = c 1 (X) = ch 1 (X) is ample. # {smooth toric Fano d-folds up to =} < + Therefore, we can consider the classification problem for toric Fano manifolds. 2

5 Definition 2 (Starr) A Fano manifold X is a 2-Fano manifold if ch 2 (X) = 1 2 (c2 1 2c 2) is a nef 2-cocycle. Definition 3 A 2-cocycle E is nef if (E S) 0 for any surface S on X. Example 4 (1) P d. (2) X Y (X, Y 2-Fano). (3) complete intersection (d 1,..., d c ) P n s.t. d 2 i n + 1. (4) Grassmannian G(k, n) s.t. 2k n 2k + 2. For more (non-toric) examples, see Araujo-Castravet (arxiv ). 5

6 Why 2-Fano? Remark 5 There are some results about the existence of rational surfaces on 2-Fano manifolds. Remark 6 Without the assumption X: Fano, there exist infinitely many such toric manifolds of a fixed dimension (You will see later). Remark 7 For the property X Y : 2-Fano (X, Y : 2-Fano), we need the assumption ch 2 (X): nef ( not positive). 6

7 Today Which toric Fano manifold is a 2-Fano manifold? From now on, X: projective toric manifold. Remark 8 Of course, 2-Fano Fano by definition, only we have to do is the calculation of intersection numbers. However, I want to do this classification by using a Mori theoretical method. 2-Mori theory? Mori theory rational curves 2-Mori theroy rational surfaces 7

8 Preliminay X = X Σ : projective toric manifold associated to a fan Σ. G(Σ) = {the primitive generaters of 1-dimensional cones in Σ} = {x 1, x 2,...} Z 2 (X) := { a i S i } the group of 2-cycles on X. Z 2 (X) := { b i E i } the group of 2-cocycles on X. intersection pairing Z 2 (X) Z 2 (X) Z (E, S) (E S) 8

9 numerical equivalence S 0 (E S) = 0 for any E Z 2 (X) E 0 (E S) = 0 for any S Z 2 (X) N 2 (X) := (Z 2 (X)/ ) R and N 2 (X) := (Z 2 (X)/ ) R 2-Mori cone NE 2 (X) = {the numerical classes of effective 2-cycles} = { [ a i S i ] a i 0 } N 2 (X) 9

10 Proposition 9 NE 2 (X) N 2 (X) is a strongly convex polyhedral cone. So, ch 2 (X): nef (ch 2 (X) S) 0 for any extremal surface S NE 2 (X). Remark 10 In ordinary Mori theory, extremal ray R NE(X) contraction φ R : X X. By this correspondence, we can find extremal curves easily. Question For 2-Mori theory, does there exist a correspondence like in this Remark? 10

11 Simple example P 1 P 3 dim N 2 (X) = 2. NE 2 (X) = R 0 [pt. P 2 ] + R 0 [P 1 P 1 ]. P 2 P 2 dim N 2 (X) = 3. NE 2 (X) = R 0 [pt. P 2 ] + R 0 [P 1 P 1 ] + R 0 [P 2 pt.]. In each case, every extremal surface is contracted by a projection. 11

12 An expression of numerical classes Y = Y σ X: a T -invariant subvariety of dim Y = l associated to σ Σ. G(Σ) = {x 1,..., x m }. x i D xi : T -invariant prime divisor. I Y = I Y (X 1,..., X m ) := 1 i 1,...,i l m (D xi1 D xil Y )X i1 X il Z[X 1,..., X m ] (x i X i ) Remark 11 I Y has all the informations of intersection numbers of Y on X. So, we consider I Y as the numerical class of Y N l (X). 12

13 Example C = C τ X: T -invariant curve. is a polynomial of degree 1. I C = (D i C)X i = (D i C)x i = 0 is a Reid s wall relation associated to τ. Namely, I C is calculated from the wall relation immediately. 13

14 S = S τ X : be a T -invariant surface. Theorem 12 I S is calculated as follows: (1) S = P 2 Let C S be a T -invariant curve. Then, I S = (I C ) 2. (2) S = F α Let C f S be a fiber of S = F α P 1, while let C n be the negative section of S. Then, I S = α(i Cf ) 2 + 2I Cf I Cn. (3) otherwise Omit. Using the sequence F α S, where is a blow-up, we can calculate I S explicitly. 14

15 Intersection numbers with ch 1 (X) or ch 2 (X) (1) K X = c 1 (X) = ch 1 (X) = X \ T = D x x G(Σ) I C = i a i X i = (ch 1 (X) C) = i a i (2) ch 2 (X) = 1 2 Dx 2 x G(Σ) I S = i,j a ij X i X j = (ch 2 (X) S) = 1 2 a ii i 15

16 An application X: toric manifold of ρ(x) = 2. Theorem 13 (Kleinschmidt) X is P m -bdl over P n. ( Let X = X Σ = P P n 1 O O(a1 ) O(a m 1 ) ), where a 1 a m 1 0, m + n 2 = dim X =: d. Put G(Σ) = {x 1,..., x m, y 1,..., y n }, and let x x m = 0, (1) y y n = a 1 x a m 1 x m 1, (2) be the extremal wall relations ( extremal ray of NE(X)). (1) C 1 (2) C 2 16

17 First, we determine the extremal rays of NE 2 (X). By calculating rational functions for a Z-basis {x 1,..., x m 1, y 1,..., y n 1 }, we have the relations D 1 D m + a 1 E n = 0, D 2 D m + a 2 E n = 0, D 2 D m + a 2 E n = 0, E 1 E n = 0, E 2 E n = 0, E n 1 E n = 0, where D 1,..., D m, E 1,..., E n are T -invariant prime divisors corresponding to x 1,..., x m, y 1,..., y n. 17

18 Therefore, for 1 i, j m 1, D j = D i + (a i a j )E n, (3) and E 1 = E 2 = = E n. (4) Every (d 2)-dimensional cone τ Σ is expressed as τ = R 0 x i1 + + R 0 x ik + R 0 y j1 + + R 0 y jl for some 1 i 1 < < i k m, 1 j 1 < < j l n s.t. k < m, l < n and k + l = d 2. So, the corresponding T -invariant surface S τ is S τ = D i1 D ik E j1 E jl N 2 (X). 18

19 By using (3) and (4), any S τ is expressed as a linear combination of 2-cycles D 1 D p E q (p m 1, q n 1, p + q = d 2) whose coefficients are non-negative (remark that i < j a i a j 0). Moreover, since D 1 D m = E 1 E n = 0 by wall relations (1) and (2), the possibilities for the generaters of NE 2 (X) are S 1 := D 1 D m 3 E n 1, S 2 := D 1 D m 2 E n 2 and S 3 := D 1 D m 1 E n 3. 19

20 In fact, the following holds: NE 2 (X) = R 0 S 1 + R 0 S 2 + R 0 S 3 if m 3, n 3. NE 2 (X) = R 0 S 2 + R 0 S 3 if m = 2, n 3. NE 2 (X) = R 0 S 1 + R 0 S 2 if m 3, n = 2. On the other hand, for each case, dim N 2 (X) = 3, dim N 2 (X) = 2 and dim N 2 (X) = 2, respectively. So, NE 2 (X) is a simplicial cone for each case, and S 1, S 2 and S 3 are extremal surfaces. 20

21 Next, we will check when X becomes a 2-Fano manifold. Positivity of ch 1 (X) Let C 2 be the T -invariant curve which generates the extremal ray corresponding to the wall relation (2). Then, ( K X C 2 ) = n ( a a m 1 ). Therefore, X is a Fano manifold if and only if n ( a a m 1 ) > 0. (5) 21

22 Non-negativity of ch 2 (X) Since S 1 = S3 = P 2, (ch 2 (X) S 1 ) 0 and (ch 2 (X) S 3 ) 0 are trivial by Theorem 12. On the other hand, we can easily check that S 2 = Fam 1. Again by Theorem 12, we have I S2 = a m 1 (I C1 ) 2 + 2I C1 I C2 = a m 1 (X X m ) (X X m ) ( Y Y n ( a 1 X a m 1 X m 1 )). So, we obtain (ch 2 (X) S 2 ) = ma m 1 2(a a m 1 ). (6) 22

23 In (6), suppose that m 3 and (ch 2 (X) S 2 ) 0. Then, (ch 2 (X) S 2 ) = (m 2)a m 1 2(a a m 2 ). The assumption a 1 a m 1 0 says that a 1 = = a m 1 = 0, that is, X = P m 1 P n 1. On the other hand, suppose that m = 2 in (6). Then, (ch 2 (X) S 2 ) = 0, that is, ch 2 (X) is nef. By (5), we can summarize as follows: 23

24 Theorem 14 If X is a toric 2-Fano manifold of Picard number 2, then X is one of the following: (1) A direct product of projective spaces. (2) P P d 1(O O(a)) (1 a d 1). Remark 15 This calculation shows that there exist infinitely many projective toric manifolds of dimension d whose 2nd Chern character is nef (P 1 -bundles over P d 1 ). 24

25 The classification of toric 2-Fano manifolds of dimension at most 4. dimension # of toric Fano # of toric 2-Fano Remark 16 Every toric 2-Fano manifold in this table is a direct product of other lower-dimensional toric 2-Fano manifolds or a P 1 -bundle over a lower-dimensional toric 2-Fano manifold. 25
