NormalToricVarieties :: NormalToricVariety ^** ZZ

NormalToricVariety ^** ZZ -- make the Cartesian power of a normal toric variety

Synopsis

Description

The $i$-ary Cartesian product of the variety $X$, defined over the ground field $k$, is the $i$-ary fiber product of $X$ with itself over $k$. For a normal toric variety, the fan of the $i$-ary Cartesian product is given by the $i$-ary Cartesian product of the cones.
