%0 Journal Article %T On toric schemes %A Fred Rohrer %J Mathematics %D 2011 %I arXiv %X Studying toric varieties from a scheme-theoretical point of view leads to toric schemes, i.e. "toric varieties over arbitrary base rings". It is shown how the base ring affects the geometry of a toric scheme. Moreover, generalisations of results by Cox and Mustata allow to describe quasicoherent sheaves on toric schemes in terms of graded modules. Finally, a toric version of the Serre-Grothendieck correspondence relates cohomology of quasicoherent sheaves on toric schemes to local cohomology of graded modules. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.2713v2
