A d-dimensional toric variety is a T-invariant subvariety of a T-invariant completion of the torus T=(k*) a (k can be C or any algebraically closed field). Such a variety can be described by a fan, a finite system of cones in R d spanned by integer lattice points. Recently, the theory of toric varieties has proved useful for the solution of problems originating from combinatorics and the theory of convexity [12],[13]. On the other hand, methods from the theory of convex polytopes have been applied to the classification of special toric varieties [4],[5],[10],[14]. In [10] all 3-dimensional smooth toric varieties with up to 8" generators" have been classified. In this paper a classification of complete smooth toric varieties with arbitrary dimension but relatively few generators is obtained. We think that our approach of linear transforms, combined with the theory of (oriented) matroids, will yield a classification of more complicated varieties. The varieties obtained by our classification can be thought of as natural generalizations of Hirzebruch-varieties [8]. Using a criterion from [4] we will show that our varieties are all projective. Using the theory of Gale-diagrams [7] those of our varieties which are Fano varieties will be classified.
