Speaker: Alexander Kasprzyk (Kent) Title: Classifying toric log Del Pezzo surfaces with the aid of a computer Time & Place: 3-4pm, Thursday 19 Feb, Carslaw 535 Abstract: In a recent work with Max Kreuzer and Benjamin Nill, techniques for classifying all toric log Del Pezzo surfaces up to some arbitrary index were described. Continuing the recent theme of toric talks, I will outline the methods involved and explain why polytopes are so important in toric classifications.
