Introduction. Let M be the moduli space of a class of smooth varieties. Then, the best compactification of M will be the moduli space of an extended class of "degenerate" varieties which may have some singularities. The main purpose of this paper is to study what kind of singularities are reasonable for these degenerate varieties without specifying any particular class of the smooth varieties. We would like the singularities to be sufficiently simple so that invariants defined for smooth varieties are generalizable, and that we can study the generically smooth deformation of them. In the case of curves, the theory of the stable curves by Deligne and Mumford [DM] shows that it is reasonable to take only ordinary double points as the singularities. In the higher dimensional cases, however, the degenerate Jacobian varieties of Oda, Seshadri and Ishida [OS], [II] or more generally, the stable quasiabelian varieties of Namikawa and Nakamura [Nl], [N2] show normal crossing singularities to be too restrictive for the degenerate abelian varieties. Looking at many examples of degenerate varieties, we came to take, as the local models of singularities, subschemes, invariant under the torus action, of torus embeddings. Thus they are generalizations of toroidal embeddings by Mumford et al. [TE]. But these are too general, and we must find out good conditions on them. It is meaningful to give the condition for the local models to be Cohen-Macaulay or Gorenstein. In the classification of smooth varieties, the canonical invertible sheaves play an important role. The Serre duality theorem is generalized for CohenMacaulay varieties with the canonical invertible sheaves replaced by the dualizing sheaves. They are invertible if the varieties are Gorenstein. The sphericity, which we define later, will be a good condition for the local model to be Gorenstein. We now explain the content of this paper in more detail. Let N be a free Z-module of rank r ^ 0, and let M be the dual Homz (iV, Z). Then for a fixed field k, an affine torus embedding of
