Toric Varieties – Combinatorial Method in Algebraic geometry
30 avril 2026 - 16:30Salle de conférences IRMA
Toric varieties are a special kind of algebraic varieties whose geometry is governed by combinatorial data: cones, fans and lattice polytopes. This makes them both explicitly computable and surprisingly rich. In this talk, I will give an introduction to toric varieties, emphasizing the dictionary between geometry and combinatorics and illustrating the theory through concrete examples. If time allows, I will also discuss their broad applications.
