We introduce the notion of a multi-fan. It is a generalization of that of a fan in the theory of toric variety in algebraic geometry. Roughly speaking a toric variety is an algebraic variety with an action of algebraic torus of the same dimension as that of the variety, and a fan is a combinatorial object associated with the toric variety. Algebro-geometric properties of the toric variety can be described in terms of the associated fan. We develop a combinatorial theory of multi-fans and define ``topological invariants'' of a multi-fan. A smooth manifold with an action of a compact torus of half the dimension of the manifold and with some orientation data is called a torus manifold. We associate a multi-fan with a torus manifold, and apply the combinatorial theory to describe topological invariants of the torus manifold. A similar theory is also given for torus orbifolds. As a related subject a generalization of the Ehrhart polynomial concerning the number of lattice points in a convex polytope is discussed.

  1. Beyond Algebraic Superstring Compactification

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Calabi-Yau compactifications and mirror symmetry are conjecturally extended to non-algebraic toric spaces using Laurent deformations and the 'intrinsic limit' completion.

  2. Ricci-Flat Mirror Hypersurfaces in Spaces of General Type

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Laurent-polynomial anticanonical sections can smooth Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in general-type toric/torus manifolds and yield transposition mirrors with computable GLSM data.

  3. Chern Characteristics and Todd-Hirzebruch Identities for Transpolar Pairs of Toric Spaces

    hep-th 2024-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Transpolar pairs involving VEX multitopes yield smooth toric spaces whose Chern classes satisfy Todd-Hirzebruch identities and belong to deformation families of generalized complete intersections.

  4. Beyond Algebraic Solutions to Stringy Spacetime

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Generalizations beyond algebraic geometry in string theory remain aligned with mirror symmetry, support quantitative analysis, and point to deeper symplectic geometry connections.
