Abstract: We provide a construction of examples of semistable degeneration via toric geometry. The applications include a higher dimensional generalization of classical degeneration of K3 surface into 4 rational components, an algebraic geometric version of decomposing K3 as the fiber sum of two E(1)'s as well as it's higher dimensional generalizations, and many other new examples.

Review text

The article under review contains a general method to construct semi-stable degeneration of toric varieties and their hypersurfaces. Among other things, the author proves that if \(\Gamma\) is a non-singular semi-stable subdivision of a polytope \(\Delta\) then there exists a toric variety \(\widetilde{X}\) and a map \(p:\widetilde{X} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}\) such that \(p\) is a semi-stable degeneration of \(X_{\Delta}\) to \(p^{-1}(0)\). The dual graph of the fiber \(p^{-1}(0)\) is given by the dual graph of the subdivision \(\Gamma\) and a component in \(p^{-1}(0)\) is the toric variety defined by corresponding subpolytope in \(\Gamma\). Using the results and constructions given in the article, the author provides many examples including the classical example of degeneration of \(K3\) surface into four copies of blow-up of \(\mathbb{CP}^{2}\) along 6 points and its natural generalizations into higher dimensions such as Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces of \(\mathbb{CP}^{n}\).
