TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a geometric description of special T- invariant Cartier divisors of a compact toric variety and use their description in order to develop a formula for the calculation of the rank of the Picard group.
Abstract: First we give a geometric description of special T- invariant Cartier divisors of a compact toric variety. We show that these divisors always exist and use their description in order to develop a formula for the calculation of the rank of the Picard group of a compact toric variety. Moreover we give an example of two combinatorially equivalent fans Σ1 and Σ2 such that} % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaaeaart1ev0aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXanrfitLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqt% ubsr4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq% -Jc9vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0-yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0x% fr-xfr-xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGaamyuam% aaBaaaleaacaaIXaGaaGimaaqabaGccqGH9aqpciGGSbGaaiOBaiaa% ysW7caWGRbWaaSbaaSqaaiaadsfacaaIXaaabeaakiaac+cacaWGRb% WaaSbaaSqaaiaadsfacaaIYaaabeaakiabg2da9iabgkHiTmaabmaa% baGaamyramaaBaaaleaacaWGHbaabeaakiaac+cacaWGsbaacaGLOa% GaayzkaaGaey41aq7aaiWaaeaadaqadaqaaiaadsfadaWgaaWcbaGa% aGOmaaqabaGccqGHsislcaWGubWaaSbaaSqaaiaaigdaaeqaaaGcca% GLOaGaayzkaaGaai4laiaacIcacaWGubWaaSbaaSqaaiaaikdaaeqa% aOGaaGjbVlaadsfadaWgaaWcbaGaamysaaqabaGccaGGPaaacaGL7b% GaayzFaaaaaa!5C4A!

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the equivariant Chow ring of the wonderful compactification X of a symmetric space of minimal rank, via restriction to the associated toric variety Y.
Abstract: We describe the equivariant Chow ring of the wonderful compactification X of a symmetric space of minimal rank, via restriction to the associated toric variety Y. Also, we show that the restrictions to Y of the tangent bundle TX and its logarithmic analogue SX decompose into a direct sum of line bundles. This yields closed formulas for the equivariant Chern classes of TX and SX, and, in turn, for the Chern classes of reductive groups considered by Kiritchenko.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determine the asymptotics of the joint eigenfunctions of the torus action on a toric Kahler variety and show that they behave like Gaussians centered at the corresponding classical torus, and that there is a universal Gaussian scaling limit of the distribution function near its center.
Abstract: We determine the asymptotics of the joint eigenfunctions of the torus action on a toric Kahler variety. Such varieties are models of completely integrable systems in complex geometry. We first determine the pointwise asymptotics of the eigenfunctions, which show that they behave like Gaussians centered at the corresponding classical torus. We then show that there is a universal Gaussian scaling limit of the distribution function near its center. We also determine the limit distribution for the tails of the eigenfunctions on large length scales. These are not universal but depend on the global geometry of the toric variety and in particular on the details of the exponential decay of the eigenfunctions away from the classically allowed set.

TL;DR: Applications to the computation of chiral massless matter spectra in string compactifications are discussed, and using the software package cohomCalg, its utility is highlighted on a new target space dual pair of (0,2) heterotic string models.
Abstract: In this review, novel non-standard techniques for the computation of cohomology classes on toric varieties are summarized. After an introduction of the basic definitions and properties of toric geometry, we discuss a specific computational algorithm for the determination of the dimension of line-bundle valued cohomology groups on toric varieties. Applications to the computation of chiral massless matter spectra in string compactifications are discussed and, using the software package cohomCalg, its utility is highlighted on a new target space dual pair of (0,2) heterotic string models.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conjecture relating GIT stability of a polarized algebraic variety to the existence of a Kahler metric of constant scalar curvature was shown to hold for reductive algebraic varieties.
Abstract: G. Tian and S.K. Donaldson formulated a conjecture relating GIT stability of a polarized algebraic variety to the existence of a Kahler metric of constant scalar curvature. In [D3] Donaldson partially confirmed it in the case of projective toric varieties. In this paper we extend Donaldson’s results and computations to a new case, that of reductive varieties.
