TL;DR: In this paper, an explicit relationship between solutions to the quantum differential equation for toric complete intersections and the periods (or oscillatory integrals) of their mirrors has been found.
Abstract: In a previous paper, the author introduced a Z-structure in quantum cohomology defined by the K-theory and the Gamma class and showed that it is compatible with mirror symmetry for toric orbifolds. Applying the quantum Lefschetz principle to the previous results, we find an explicit relationship between solutions to the quantum differential equation for toric complete intersections and the periods (or oscillatory integrals) of their mirrors. We describe in detail the mirror isomorphism of variations of Z-Hodge structure for a mirror pair of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces (Batyrev's mirror).

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the pushforward of the Lebesgue measure on the Okounkov body is equal to a Duistermaat-Heckman measure of a certain deformation of the manifold.
Abstract: We associate to a test configuration for a polarized variety a filtration of the section ring of the line bundle. Using the recent work of Boucksom and Chen we get a concave function on the Okounkov body whose law with respect to Lebesgue measure determines the asymptotic distribution of the weights of the test configuration. We show that this is a generalization of a well-known result in toric geometry. As an application, we prove that the pushforward of the Lebesgue measure on the Okounkov body is equal to a Duistermaat-Heckman measure of a certain deformation of the manifold. Via the Duisteraat-Heckman formula, we get as a corollary that in the special case of an effective C-x-action on the manifold lifting to the line bundle, the pushforward of the Lebesgue measure on the Okounkov body is piecewise polynomial.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply this combinatorial geometric technique to investigate the existence of coherent sheaves by vector bundles, using singular nonquasiprojective toric threefolds as a testing ground.
Abstract: We associate to each toric vector bundle on a toric variety X(∆) a “branched cover” of the fan ∆ together with a piecewise-linear function on the branched cover. This construction generalizes the usual correspondence between toric Cartier divisors and piecewise-linear functions. We apply this combinatorial geometric technique to investigate the existence of resolutions of coherent sheaves by vector bundles, using singular nonquasiprojective toric threefolds as a testing ground. Our main new result is the construction of complete toric threefolds that have no nontrivial toric vector bundles of rank less than or equal to three. The combinatorial geometric sections of the paper, which develop a theory of cone complexes and their branched covers, can be read independently.

TL;DR: In this paper, LS algebras were introduced for Schubert varieties and a new proof of Cohen-Macaulayness (and thus normality) was obtained.
Abstract: In this paper we introduce LS algebras. We study their general properties and apply these results to Schubert varieties. Our main achievement is that any Schubert variety admits a flat deformation to a union of normal toric varieties. A new proof of Cohen-Macaulayness (and thus normality) for Schubert varieties is also obtained.
