Soit X une variété de Fano torique, Gorenstein et ℚ-factorielle. Nous démontrons deux conjectures sur le nombre de Picard maximal de X en fonction de sa dimension et de son pseudo-indice, et nous caractérisons les cas limites. De façon équivalente, nous déterminons le nombre maximal de sommets d’un polytope réflexif simplicial.

Let X be a Gorenstein, ℚ-factorial, toric Fano variety. We prove two conjectures on the maximal Picard number of X in terms of its dimension and its pseudo-index, and characterize the boundary cases. Equivalently, we determine the maximal number of vertices of a simplicial reflexive polytope.
