Example 7.2.
Take to be defined by the equation in , where is a disk with coordinate and is a general homogeneous quartic polynomial on . It is easy to see that is singular at the locus
As is the coordinate tetrahedron, the singular locus of consists of the six coordinate lines of , and has four singular points along each such line, for a total of 24 singular points. Take . Then away from , the projection is normal crossings, which yields condition (4) of the definition of toric degeneration. It is easy to see all other conditions are satisfied.
