For a Weyl group $W$ and a $W$-permutohedron $P$, there are associated toric varieties $X_P$ and $X_{P/W_K}$ for any parabolic subgroup $W_K$ of $W$, since the quotient $P/W_K$ can be identified with a polytope inside $P$. We construct an…

The Chow quotient of a projective variety by the action of a complex torus is known to have a very complicated geometry, even in the case of simple varieties, such as rational homogeneous varieties. In this paper we propose an approach in…
