gausskFiber -- computes the general fiber of the Gauss map of order k

Synopsis

• Usage:

  gausskFiber(A,k)

• Inputs:
  • A, a matrix, or a a list where the columns are lattice points
  • k, an integer
• Outputs:
  • a list, of monomials giving the torus embedding of an irreducible component of the general fiber of the Gauss map of order k for the generically k-jet spanned toric variety X_A
