Title: Complete Intersections in Toric Varieties
Speaker: Thamarai Valli Venkatachalam
Abstract: Toric varieties, with their rich combinatorial structure, simplify computations, and their complete intersections inherit these advantages. In this talk, I will introduce toric varieties as GIT quotients and explore complete intersections within these varieties, along with their combinatorial properties. We will also examine how these properties aid in classifying Fano varieties. If time permits, I will discuss my ongoing work on the classification of Fano complete intersections in toric varieties.
Some snacks will be provided before and after the talk.
