Intersection theory of toric $b$-divisors in toric varieties

Abstract

We introduce toric bb-divisors on complete smooth toric varieties and a notion of integrability of such divisors. We show that under some positivity assumptions toric bb-divisors are integrable and that their degree is given as the volume of a convex set. Moreover, we show that the dimension of the space of global sections of a nef toric bb-divisor is equal to the number of lattice points in this convex set and we give a Hilbert--Samuel type formula for its asymptotic growth. This generalizes classical results for classical toric divisors on toric varieties. Finally, we relate convex bodies associated to bb-divisors with Newton--Okounkov bodies. The main motivation for studying toric bb-divisors is that they locally encode the singularities of the invariant metric on an automorphic line bundle over a toroidal compactification of a mixed Shimura variety of non-compact type.
