32nd Autumn School in Algebraic Geometry
Algebraic torus actions
Lukecin, Poland, September 6th - September 12th, 2009
Teachers: Klaus Altmann (Freie University, Berlin) and Juergen
Hausen (University of Tuebingen)
Abstract:
In the first part of the course we gave an introduction
to the theory of toric varieties, i.e., varieties that
are almost homogeneous under an algebraic torus action.
In the second part, we turned to more general aspects of
algebraic torus actions, such as Geometric Invariant
Theory, Cox rings and polyhedral divisors.
Program: each morning 2 lectures, 90 min each, by Klaus Altmann
(KA) and Juergen Hausen (JH) followed by 90 min excercise session in
the afternoon and contributed talks in the evening. The following is a
list of titles of lectures:
- JH: Algebraic torus actions, KA: Geometry of toric varieties
- JH: GIT of torus actions, KA: Deformation theory
