The characterization of (𝑛 − 1)-spheres with 𝑛 + 4 vertices having maximal Buchstaber number

Abstract

Abstract We present a computationally efficient algorithm that is suitable for graphic processing unit implementation. This algorithm enables the identification of all weak pseudo-manifolds that meet specific facet conditions, drawn from a given input set. We employ this approach to enumerate toric colorable seeds. Consequently, we achieve a comprehensive characterization of ( n − 1 ) (n-1) -dimensional PL spheres with n + 4 n+4 vertices that possess a maximal Buchstaber number. A primary focus of this research is the fundamental categorization of non-singular complete toric varieties of Picard number 4. This classification serves as a valuable tool for addressing questions related to toric manifolds of Picard number 4. Notably, we have determined which of these manifolds satisfy equality within an inequality regarding the number of minimal components in their rational curve space. This addresses a question posed by Chen, Fu, and Hwang in 2014 for this specific case.
