A normal complex algebraic variety \(X\) on which a connected complex reductive group \(G\) acts is called spherical if a Borel subgroup \(B\) of \(G\) has a dense orbit in \(X\). If \(X\) is a complete spherical variety that contains a unique closed \(G\)-orbit \(Y\), then the author had previously shown that \(\text{Pic}(X)\) is freely generated by the classes of irreducible \(B\)-stable divisors which do not contain \(Y\) [see \textit{M. Brion}, Duke Math. J. 58, No. 2, 397-424 (1989; Zbl 0701.14052)]. In this article the author proves, among other things, that the Chow group \(A_1(X)\) of one-dimensional cycles is freely generated by the images of certain \(B\)-stable curves, termed basic curves, and that any \(B\)-stable curve in \(X\) is either basic or rationally equivalent to a sum of two basic curves. Moreover, these canonical bases of \(\text{ Pic}(X)\) and \(A_1(X)\) are dual for the intersection pairing. These results generalize the well-known description in the case of the flag variety \(F = G/B\) of \(\text{ Pic}(F)\) as the weight lattice of \(G\) and \(A_1(F)\) as the lattice of coroots of \(G\) with the intersection pairing corresponding to the natural duality between weights and coroots. -- As applications, the author gives a description of the canonical class of a spherical variety and proves a Borel-Weil-Bott type vanishing theorem for cohomology groups of line bundles over complete toroidal varieties (a spherical variety is toroidal if any \(G\)-orbit closure is an intersection of \(G\)-stable divisors). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0857.00012].
