Abstract

Let XX be a complete \Q\Q-factorial toric variety of dimension nn and \del\del the fan in a lattice NN associated to XX. For each cone σ\sigma of \del\del there corresponds an orbit closure V(σ)V(\sigma) of the action of complex torus on XX. The homology classes {[V(σ)]dimσ=k}\{[V(\sigma)]\mid \dim \sigma=k\} form a set of specified generators of Hnk(X,\Q)H_{n-k}(X,\Q). It is shown that, given αHnk(X,\Q)\alpha\in H_{n-k}(X,\Q), there is a canonical way to express α\alpha as a linear combination of the [V(σ)][V(\sigma)] with coefficients in the field of rational functions of degree 00 on the Grassmann manifold of (nk+1)(n-k+1)-planes in N\QN_\Q. This generalizes Morelli's formula for α\alpha the (nk)(n-k)-th component of the Todd homology class of the variety XX.
