The Anticanonical Complex for Non-degenerate Toric Complete Intersections

Abstract

The anticanonical complex generalizes the Fano polytope from toric geometry and has been used to study Fano varieties with torus action so far. We provide an explicit description of the anticanonical complex for complete intersections in toric varieties defined by non-degenerate systems of Laurent polynomials. As an application, we classify the terminal Fano threefolds that are embedded into a fake weighted projective space via a general system of Laurent polynomials.
