Abstract:

We will present results obtained in collaboration with J.Burgos and
M.Sombra. These extend the well known dictionary between the geometric
properties of toric varieties and convex geometry. In particular, we give
combinatorial descriptions of classical invariants of arithmetic geometry,
such as metric, height, essential minimum, positivity properties and
equidistribution.
