Toric varieties whose blow-up at a point is Fano
We classify smooth toric Fano varieties of dimension containing a
toric divisor isomorphic to \PP^{n-1}. As a consequence of this
classification, we show that any smooth complete toric variety of dimension
with a -fixed point such that the blow-up of
at is Fano is isomorphic either to \PP^n or to the blow-up of \PP^n
along a \PP^{n-2}. As expected, such results are proved using toric Mori
theory due to Reid.Comment: 5 pages, no figures. Some mistakes corrected, improvements of
