Below is a list of confirmed talks in the series: 

Title:  Introduction to toric varieties

speaker:  Pankaj Singh

Date: 5/22/2025 and 5/29/2025

Abstract:  We will begin by introducing and reviewing the background and key definitions related to toric varieties. Next, we will explore their connection with fans to understand the combinatorial structure. We will then revisit the orbit-cone correspondence and, if time permits, cover additional related material.
