Abstract: Let $X_{m}athcalA$ be the projective toric variety corresponding to a finite set of lattice points $mathcalA$. We show that irreducible components of the Fano scheme $mathbf{F}_k(X_{m}athcalA)$ parametrizing $k$-dimensional linear subspaces of $X_{m}athcalA$ are in bijection to so-called maximal Cayley structures for $mathcalA$. We explicitly describe these irreducible components and their intersection behaviour, characterize when $mathbf{F}_k(X_{m}athcalA)$ is connected, and prove that if $X_{m}athcalA$ is smooth in dimension $k$, then every component of $mathbf{F}_k(X_{m}athcalA)$ is smooth in its reduced structure. Furthermore, in the special case $k=dim{X}_{m}athcalA-1$, we describe the non-reduced structure of $mathbf{F}_k(X_{m}athcalA)$. Our main result is closely related to concurrent work done independently by Furukawa and Ito.
