Title: "Toric Varieties from Polytopes"
Room: MC 108

Abstract: We will finish of the construction of a toric variety from a fan. The orbits of T-action on the toric variety X defined by a fan Σ are in bijective correspondence with cones of Σ. Then we give a couple of examples of toric varieties arising from normal fans of polytopes.
