Toric Varieties

Toric varieties provide special examples of Zariski open affine varieties in \( \mathbb C^n \). Some examples are \( V(x^2 -y^3) \), or any such variety generated by binomials of the form \( V(x^{\alpha} – y^{\beta}) \). A torus is defined by \( (\mathbb C^*)^n \), the cartesian product of non-zero complex numbers with the Toric Varieties
