Spherical variety
In algebraic geometry, given a reductive algebraic group G and a Borel subgroup B, a spherical variety is a G-variety with an open dense B-orbit. It is sometimes also assumed to be normal. Examples are flag varieties, symmetric space and (affine or projective) toric varieties.
A projective spherical variety is a Mori dream space.[1]
Losev (2006) has shown that every "smooth" affine spherical variety is uniquely determined by its weight monoid. (see Brion for the definition of weight monoid.)
