Abstract: We introduce a theory of volume polynomials and corresponding duality algebras of multi-fans. Any complete simplicial multi-fan Delta determines a volume polynomial VDelta whose values are the volumes of multi-polytopes based on Delta. This homogeneous polynomial is further used to construct a Poincare duality algebra mathcalA(Delta). We study the structure and properties of VDelta and mathcalA(Delta) and give applications and connections to other subjects, such as Macaulay duality, Novik--Swartz theory of face rings of simplicial manifolds, generalizations of Minkowski's theorem on convex polytopes, cohomology of torus manifolds, computations of volumes, and linear relations on the powers of linear forms. In particular, we prove that the analogue of the g-theorem does not hold for multi-polytopes.
