Geometric spaces from arbitrary convex polytopes

Algebraic Geometry 2010-04-29 v2

Abstract

We associate a geometric space to an arbitrary convex polytope. Our construction parallels the construction by D. Cox of a toric variety as a GIT quotient. The spaces that we obtain are endowed with a natural stratification and perfectly mimic the features of toric varieties associated to rational convex polytopes.
