How many symmetries can a polynomial have?

Abstract:

In this talk we explain how this question has many different types of answers, depending on what you mean by "many" and what you mean by "symmetry". We also explore how answering this question leads from very classical algebraic geometry to the modern theory of classification of varieties.
