Toric Varieties

Abstract:

Toric varieties have rich connections to plane geometry, which allows questions about algebraic geometry (hard) to be reformulated into questions about combinatorics (easy). In this talk, we will introduce toric varieties, and we will discuss several examples. This talk is intended to be fun, and should be generally accessible.
