Abstract

This paper gives computations of all the $G$-theory groups of several classes of simplicial toric varieties, including all affine toric surfaces when the base field is algebraically closed and has characteristic zero, all weighted projective spaces over any field and resolution of singularities of all affine toric surfaces $\operatorname{Spec}(k[x,xy,xy^2,...,xy^d])$ over any field $k$. The $G$-theory groups $G_0,G_1,G_2$ are computed for the product of any two weighted projective spaces over any field. The dimension of the rational vector space $G_0(X)\otimes\mathbb{Q}$ for any complete, simplicial toric variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is shown to be equal to the sum of the Betti numbers of even degrees. We also prove that the Chow group $A^2(X)$ of codimension 2 cycles vanishes for any affine, smooth toric variety, thereby proving a special case of my conjecture that the order of this Chow group $A^2(X)$ divides the determinant of the matrix whose columns are the minimal generators of the fan for any affine, simplicial toric variety $X$.
