Description
Toric varieties are geometric objects defined combinatorially, much like CW complexes in topology. They can be used to study geometrically combinatorial objects like semigroups, cones, polytopes or simplicial complexes. In Algebraic Geometry, toric varieties are a rich source of examples, a good testing ground for gaining intuition for open problems.
This course tours several topics of birational geometry, in the special case of toric varieties. The goal is to construct many explicit examples, of log structures, singularities, polarized varieties, and varieties of K-pure type (Fano, Calabi-Yau, canonically polarized).
We assume basic knowledge of Birational Geometry and Toric Varieties (for example Caucher Birkar's introductory course).
