What is Toric Varieties (Graduate Studies in Mathematics) (Graduate Studies in Mathematics, 124) about?

The study of toric varieties is a wonderful part of algebraic geometry. There areelegant theorems and deep connections with polytopes, polyhedra, combinatorics,commutative algebra, symplectic geometry, and topology. Toric varieties also haveunexpected applications in areas as diverse as physics, coding theory, algebraicstatistics, and geometric modeling. Moreover, as noted by Fulton [105], “toricvarieties have provided a remarkably fertile testing ground for general theories.”At the same time, the concreteness of toric varieties provides an excellent contextfor someone encountering the powerful techniques of modern algebraic geometryfor the first time. Our book is an introduction to this rich subject that assumes onlya modest background yet leads to the frontier of this active area of research.Brief Summary. The text covers standard material on toric varieties, including:(a) Convex polyhedral cones, polytopes, and fans.(b) Affine, projective, and abstract toric varieties.(c) Complete toric varieties and proper toric morphisms.(d) Weil and Cartier divisors on toric varieties.(e) Cohomology of sheaves on toric varieties.(f) The classical theory of toric surfaces.(g) The topology of t
