In this paper, we introduce the notion of toric special weak Fano manifolds, which have only special primitive crepant contractions. We study their structure, and in particular completely classify smooth toric special weak Fano 4-folds. As a result, we can confirm that almost every smooth toric special weak Fano 4-fold is a weakened Fano manifold, that is, a weak Fano manifold which can be deformed to a Fano manifold.

We prove that for a toric manifold (respectively, a quasitoric manifold) M, any graded ring isomorphism $H^*(M){\rightarrow}H^*({\Pi}_{i=1}^{m}\mathbb{C}P^{ni})$ can be realized by a diffeomorphism (respectively, a homeomorphism) ${\Pi}_{i=1}^{m}\mathbb{C}P^{ni}{\rightarrow}M$.

Choi and Park introduced an invariant of a finite simple graph, called signed a-number, arising from computing certain topological invariants of some specific kinds of real toric manifolds. They also found the signed a-numbers of path graphs, cycle graphs, complete graphs, and star graphs. We introduce a signed a-polynomial which is a generalization of the signed a-number and gives a-, b-, and c-numbers. The signed a-polynomial of a graph G is related to the $Poincar\acute{e}$ polynomial $P_{M(G)}(z)$, which is the generating function for the Betti numbers of the real toric manifold M(G). We give the generating functions for the signed a-polynomials of not only path graphs, cycle graphs, complete graphs, and star graphs, but also complete bipartite graphs and complete multipartite graphs. As a consequence, we find the Euler characteristic number and the Betti numbers of the real toric manifold M(G) for complete multipartite graphs G.

The aim of this paper is to deal with the realization problem of a given Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic manifold as the fixed point set of an anti-symplectic involution. To be more precise, let (X, ω, µ) be a toric Hamiltonian T-space, and let ∆ = µ(X) denote the moment polytope. Let τ be an anti-symplectic involution of X such that τ maps the fibers of µ to (possibly different) fibers of µ, and let p₀ be a point in the interior of ∆. If the toric fiber µ^-1(p₀) is real Lagrangian with respect to τ, then we show that p₀ should be the origin and, furthermore, ∆ should be centrally symmetric.

We construct Calabi-Yau threefolds by smoothing normal crossing varieties, which are made from the building blocks of $G_2-manifolds$. We compute the Hodge numbers of those Calabi-Yau threefolds. Some of those Hodge number pairs ($h^{1,1}$, $h^{1,2}$) do not overlap with those of Calabi-Yau threefolds constructed in the toric setting.

The primary aim of this paper is to generalize a theorem of Hirzebruch for the complex 2-dimensional Bott manifolds, usually called Hirzebruch surfaces, to more general Bott towers of height n. To do so, we first show that all complex vector bundles of rank 2 over a Bott manifold are classified by their total Chern classes. As a consequence, in this paper we show that two Bott manifolds $B_n({\alpha}_1,{\ldots},{\alpha}_{n-1},{\alpha}_n)$ and $B_n({\alpha}_1,{\ldots},{\alpha}_{n-1},{\alpha}_n^{\prime})$ are isomorphic to each other, as Bott towers if and only if both ${\alpha}_n{\equiv}{\alpha}_n^{\prime}$ mod 2 and ${\alpha}_n^2=({\alpha}_n^{\prime})^2$ hold in the cohomology ring of $B_{n-1}({\alpha}_1,{\ldots},{\alpha}_{n-1})$ over integer coefficients. This result will complete a circle of ideas initiated in [11] by Ishida. We also give some partial affirmative remarks toward the assertion that under certain condition our main result still holds to be true for two Bott manifolds just diffeomorphic, but not necessarily isomorphic, to each other.
