The definition uses a combination of linear algebra and combinatorics. When what is called exact calculation holds, the dimension $h_wΔ$ of $H_wΔ$ is a linear function of the flag vector $fΔ$. It is expected that the $H_wΔ$ are examples, for toric varieties, of the new topological invariants introduced by the author in "Local-global intersection homolog" (preprint alg-geom/9709011).LaTeX2e. 14 pagesAlgebraic Geometry52B05, 15A69, 14M25, 55N33text
