Canonical decomposition of a difference of convex sets

Algebraic Geometry 2017-05-03 v1

Abstract

Let NN be a lattice of rank nn and let M=NM = N^{\vee} be its dual lattice. In this note we show that given two compact, bounded, full-dimensional convex sets K1K2MRMZRK_1 \subseteq K_2 \subseteq M_{\R} \coloneqq M \otimes_{\Z} \R, there is a canonical convex decomposition of the difference K2K1K_2 \setminus K_1 and we interpret the volume of the pieces geometrically in terms of intersection numbers of toric bb-divisors.
