Speaker: Tao Gong (Western) Title: "Homotopy Types of Quotients of Toric varieties from Weyl Groups" Room: MC 107 Abstract: Given a reduced crystallographic root system with a fixed simple system, it is associated to a Weyl group W and a polytope P which is the convex hull of the W-orbit of a dominant weight. P and P/W are polytopes, associated with complex toric varieties XP and XP/W respectively. We will see a homotopy equivalence between XP/W and XP/W, and contractibility of the real real points XRP/W for small ranks. | |
