Title: Cluster varieties and mirror symmetry for toric del Pezzo surfaces

Speaker: Ines Chung-Halpern

Abstract: Cluster varieties are a class of algebraic varieties carrying deep combinatorial structure, which allows us to adapt methods from toric geometry to a more general setting. In this talk, I will introduce cluster varieties in dimension 2 and their compactifications, and explore how their birational geometry is related to mutation, giving us new ways to understand mirror symmetry for toric Fano varieties.

 

Some snacks will be provided before and after the talk.
