Projective Normality of Smooth Toric Varieties


As of the last updating of this webpage, it is an open question whether smooth toric varieties are always projectively normal. This webpage will record progress and partial results as we look for a proof or a counterexample.

In August 2007 there was an Oberwolfach mini-workshop on this topic. The report for the workshop is available here. It includes a description of the problem.

In April 2009 there was a workshop on this topic and related problems at the American Institute of Mathematics. See the webpage.
