Minkowski decomposition and generators of the moving cone for toric varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2016-01-20 v3

Abstract

We prove that for smooth projective toric varieties, the Okounkov body of a TT-invariant pseudo-effective divisor with respect to a TT-invariant flag decomposes as a finite Minkowski sum of indecomposable polytopes. We prove that these indecomposable polytopes form a Minkowski base and that they correspond to the rays in the secondary fan. Moreover, we present an algorithm to find the Minkowski base.
