Deformations of an affine Gorenstein toric pair

We consider deformations of a pair $(X,\partial X)$, where X is an affine toric Gorenstein variety and ∂X is its boundary. We compute the tangent and obstruction space for the corresponding deformation functor and for an admissible lattice degree m we construct the miniversal deformation of $(X,\partial X)$ in degrees $-km$, for all $k\in N$. This in particular generalizes Altmann's construction of the miniversal deformation of an isolated Gorenstein toric singularity to an arbitrary non-isolated Gorenstein toric singularity. Moreover, we show that the irreducible components of the reduced miniversal deformation are in one to one correspondence with maximal Minkowski decompositions of the polytope $P\cap (m=1)$, where P is the lattice polytope defining X.
