Abstract. In this note we introduce exact sequences of sheaves on a complete smooth K * -surface without elliptic points. These sequences are an attempt to generalize the Euler sequence for a toric variety to complexity one surfaces. As an application we show that such a surface is rigid if and only if it is Fano.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
