The homotopy type of spaces of rational curves on a toric variety. (English) Zbl 06963141
Summary: Spaces of holomorphic maps from the Riemann sphere to various complex manifolds have played an important role in several areas of mathematics (e.g. linear control theory and mathematical physics ([2], [3])). G. Segal [22] investigated the homotopy type of spaces of holomorphic maps on complex projective spaces and M. Guest [10] generalized Segal’s result for compact smooth toric varieties. Recently Mostovoy-Villanueva [20] improved the homology stability dimension obtained by Guest. In this paper we generalize their result [20] for certain non-compact smooth toric varieties by the careful analysis of toric varieties with the scanning maps.
