Lectures on Torus Embeddings and Applicationsby Tadao Oda - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
Theory of torus embeddings has find many applications. The point of the theory lies in its ability of translating meaningful algebra-geometric phenomena into very simple statements about the combinatorics of cones in affine space over the reals.
