abstract: We recall that a toric bundle is a bundle having a Kaehler toric manifold F as fiber and a subgroup of the torus Tn acting on F as structural group Ma. We consider the class of homogeneous toric bundles over a flag manifold GCP and we provide a simple algebraic criterion which characterizes the Fano manifolds in this class. Any such homogeneous toric bundle is almost GC-homogeneous HS and of G-cohomogeneity equal to n. These manifolds represent a natural generalization of the examples of cohomogeneity one manifolds, considered e.g. in DW,KS,PS,TZ.
