Local vanishing for toric varieties (2306.10179v2)

Abstract: Let $X$ be a toric variety. We establish vanishing (and non-vanishing) results for the sheaves $R^if_*\Omega^p_{\tilde X}(\log E)$, where $f: \tilde{X} \to X$ is a strong log resolution of singularities with reduced exceptional divisor $E$. These extend the local vanishing theorem for toric varieties in [MOP20]. Our consideration of these sheaves is motivated by the notion of $k$-rational singularities introduced by Friedman and Laza [FL22b]. In particular, our results lead to criteria for toric varieties to have $k$-rational singularities, as defined in [SVV23].
