We study two different quotients for the action of T on X: the toric Chow quotient X/_CT and the toric Hilbert scheme H. We introduce a notion of the main component H_0 of H which parameterizes general T-orbit closures in X and their flat limits. The main component U_0 of the universal family U over H is a preimage of H_0. We define an analogue of a universal family W_X over the main component of the X/_CT. We show that the toric Chow morphism restricted on the main components lifts to a birational projective morphism from U_0 to W_X. The variety W_X also provides a geometric realization of the Altmann-Hausen family. In particular, the notion of W_X allows us to provide an explicit description of the fan of the Altmann-Hausen family in the toric case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-02-02T20:11:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14L24", "14C05", "14M25" ], "keywords": [ "affine variety", "parameterizes general t-orbit closures", "toric hilbert scheme", "toric chow quotient", "toric chow morphism" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.5760C" } } }
