Toric Degenerations of Spherical Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that any affine, resp. polarized projective, spherical variety admits a flat degeneration to an affine, resp. polarized projective, toric variety. Motivated by Mirror Symmetry, we give conditions for the limit toric variety to be a Gorenstein Fano, and provide many examples. We also provide an explanation for the limits as boundary points of the moduli space of stable pairs whose existence is predicted by the Minimal Model Program.

Toric Degenerations of Bott-samelson Varieties
We study Bott-Samelson varieties for the group GLn(C), their toric degenerations and standard monomial type bases for their homogeneous coordinate rings. A 3-dimensional example is described in detail.

We study semi-stable degenerations of toric varieties determined by certain partitions of their moment polytopes. Analyzing their defining equations we prove a property of uniqueness.

متن کاملAn Invitation to Toric Degenerations Mark Gross and Bernd Siebert
In [GrSi2] we gave a canonical construction of degenerating families of varieties with effective anticanonical bundle. The central fibre X of such a degeneration is a union of toric varieties, glued pairwise torically along toric prime divisors. In particular, the notion of toric strata makes sense on the central fiber. A somewhat complementary feature of our degeneration is their toroidal natu...
متن کاملStable Spherical Varieties and Their Moduli
We introduce a notion of stable spherical variety which includes the spherical varieties under a reductive group G and their flat equivariant degenerations. Given any projective space P where G acts linearly, we construct a moduli space for stable spherical varieties over P, that is, pairs (X, f), where X is a stable spherical variety and f : X → P is a finite equivariant morphism. This space i...
