Combinatorial challenges in toric varieties April 27 to May 1, 2009 American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto, CA Organizers: Joseph Gubeladze, Christian Haase, and Diane Maclagan Description: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to a selection of problems on lattice polytopes that arise in the theory of toric varieties. Besides structural results, we will work on search strategies and computational approaches to these questions. Deadline: December 1, 2008 Details: http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/toricvarieties.html
