Abstract
Using the universal torsor method due to Salberger, we study the approximation of a general fixed point by rational points on split toric varieties. We prove that under certain geometric hypothesis the best approximations (in the sense of McKinnon and Roth’s work) can be achieved on rational curves passing through the fixed point of minimal degree, confirming a conjecture of McKinnon. These curves are also minimal in the sense of deformation theory, and they correspond, according to Batyrev’s terminology, to the centred primitive collections of the structural fan.

N1 - Funding Information: This paper grew out of part of my Ph.D. thesis realised at Université Grenoble Alpes. I would like to thank Emmanuel Peyre for constant encouragement over the past few years, and I’m grateful to David McKinnon for his interest. The idea of considering primitive collections was brought up by Michel Brion, to whom I address my gratitude. A special thanks goes to the anonymous referee for numerous suggestions which lead to significant improvements in the exposition. When working on this project the author was partly supported by the project ANR GARDIO, by a Riemann fellowship and by grant DE 1646/4-2 of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
