If $\mathcal{F}$ is a coherent sheaf on a smooth toric variety $X$ then multigraded commutative algebra can be used to compute the cohomology groups $H^i(X, \mathcal{F})$.
Indeed if $B$ is the irrelevant ideal of $X$ then the cohomology group $H^i(X, \mathcal{F})$ can be realized as the degree zero piece of the multigraded module $Ext^i(B^{[l]}, F)$ for sufficiently large $l$; here $B^{[l]}$ denotes the $l$th Forbenius power of $B$ and $F$ is any multigraded module whose corresponding sheaf on $X$ is $\mathcal{F}$.
Given the fan of $X$ and $F$ a sufficiently large power of $l$ can be determined effectively. We refer to sections 2 and 3 of the paper "Cohomology on Toric Varieties and Local Cohomology with Monomial Supports" for more details.
In this example, we consider the case that $X = \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$ and $F = \mathcal{O}_C(1,0)$ where $C$ is a general divisor of type $(3,3)$ on $X$. In this setting, $H^0(C,F)$ and $H^1(C, F)$ are both $2$-dimensional vector spaces.
We first make the multi-graded coordinate ring of $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$, the irrelevant ideal, and a sufficentily high Frobenus power of the irrelevant ideal needed for our calculations. Also the complex $G$ below is a resolution of the irrelevant ideal.
i1 : R = ZZ/101[a_0..b_1, Degrees=>{2:{1,0},2:{0,1}}]; -- PP^1 x PP^1 |
i2 : B = intersect(ideal(a_0,a_1),ideal(b_0,b_1)) ; -- irrelevant ideal o2 : Ideal of R |
i3 : B = B_*/(x -> x^5)//ideal ; -- Sufficentily high Frobenius power o3 : Ideal of R |
i4 : G = res image gens B ; |
We next make the ideal, denoted by $I$ below, of a general divisor of type $(3,3)$ on $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$. Also the chain complex $F$ below is a resolution of this ideal.
i5 : I = ideal random(R^1, R^{{-3,-3}}) ; -- ideal of C o5 : Ideal of R |
i6 : F = res comodule I 1 1 o6 = R <-- R <-- 0 0 1 2 o6 : ChainComplex |
To use hypercohomology to compute the cohomology groups of the line bundle $\mathcal{O}_C(1,0)$ on $C$ we twist the complex $F$ above by a line of rulting and then make a filtered complex whose associated spectral sequence abuts to the desired cohomology groups.
i7 : K = Hom(G , filteredComplex (F ** R^{{1,0}})) ; -- Twist F by a line of ruling and make filtered complex whose ss abuts to HH OO_C(1,0) |

The cohomology groups we want are obtained as follows.
