Introduction to Toric Geometry
read the original abstract
These notes are based on a series of lectures given by the author at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. Addressed topics include affine and projective toric varieties, abstract normal toric varieties from fans, divisors on toric varieties and Cox's construction of a toric variety as a GIT quotient. We emphasize the role of toric varieties in solving systems of polynomial equations and provide many computational examples using the Julia package Oscar.jl.

Loop Termination and Generalized Collatz Sequences
Termination of one-variable linear-constraint loops over integers is decidable in polynomial time if the generalized Collatz conjecture holds, with any such procedure also settling specific instances of the conjecture.

Fano and Reflexive Polytopes from Feynman Integrals
Quasi-finite Feynman integrals produce sparse Fano and reflexive polytopes that encode degenerate Calabi-Yau varieties and link to del Pezzo surfaces, K3 surfaces, and Calabi-Yau threefolds.
