On global Okounkov bodies of spherical varieties

Abstract

We define and study the global Okounkov moment cone of a projective spherical variety X, generalizing both the global Okounkov body and the moment body of X defined by Kaveh and Khovanskii. Under mild assumptions on X we show that the global Okounkov moment cone of X is rational polyhedral. As a consequence, also the global Okounkov body of X, with respect to a particular valuation, is rational polyhedral.
