Toric varieties are algebraic varieties arising from elementary geometric and combinatorial objects. This text aims to develop the foundations of the study of toric varieties, and describe these relations and applications. It includes Stanley's theorem characterizing the numbers of simplicies in each dimension in a convex simplicial polytope.

Intended as an introductory guide, this work takes for its subject complex, analytic, automorphic forms and functions on (a domain equivalent to) a bounded domain in a finite-dimensional, complex, vector space, usually denoted Cn). Part I, essentially elementary, deals with complex analytic automorphic forms on a bounded domain; it presents H. Car

Most of the results in this monograph are known. The method of proof is new, especially in the case of Matsushima's theorem. The topic is not easily accessible. Therefore an introduction has been written here in order to provide a clear, coherent, intransically formulated account which will be useful for applications to value distribution theory, and which may have a wider appeal as well.
