Two minimal toric resolutions of a four-ray threefold cone
ID: two-minimal-toric-resolutions-of-a-four-ray-threefold-cone
For this toric cone, one smooth fan subdivision has maximal cones and no exceptional divisors. Another has , with . Its only exceptional divisor is a projective plane, since the quotient fan at has the three rays with sum zero and unimodular neighboring cones. Both subdivisions admit no proper smooth coarsening. Their common smooth refinement is obtained from the first by adding in and then in , and from the second by adding in . Each step is a toric blowup along an orbit closure.
