Stable rationality of hypersurfaces in mock toric varieties (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In recent years, there has been a development in approaching rationality problems through motivic methods. This approach requires the explicit construction of degeneration families over curves with favorable properties. However, the specific construction is generally difficult. Nicaise and Ottem combined combinatorial methods to construct degeneration families of hypersurfaces in toric varieties and mentioned the stable rationality of a very general hypersurface in projective spaces. In this talk, we mention the following two points: First, I introduce the notion of mock toric varieties, which are generalizations of toric varieties. Second, I combinatorially construct degeneration families of hypersurfaces in mock toric varieties, and I mention the irrationality of a very general hypersurface in the complex Grassmannian variety Gr(2, n).
