Toric manifolds over 3-polytopes

Abstract

In this note we gather and review some facts about existence of toric spaces over 3-dimensional simple polytopes. First, over every combinatorial 3-polytope there exists a quasitoric manifold. Second, there exist combinatorial 3-polytopes, that do not correspond to any smooth projective toric variety. We restate the proof of the second claim which does not refer to complicated algebro-geometrical technique. If follows from these results that any fullerene supports quasitoric manifolds but does not support smooth projective toric varieties.
