Toric Variety

Let m_1, m_2, ..., m_n be distinct primitive elements of a two-dimensional lattice M such that det(m_i,m_(i+1))>0 for i=1, ..., n-1. Each collection Gamma={m_1,m_2,...,m_n} then forms a set of rays of a unique complete fan in M, and therefore determines a two-dimensional toric variety X_Gamma.
