내용
The main topic of the conference is the interplay of torus actions with topology, geometry, and the combinatorics of manifolds, orbifolds, and algebraic varieties with torus actions. Toric manifolds, symplectic toric manifolds, and quasitoric manifolds illustrate the correspondence between topological and geometric objects with torus actions and, combinatorial objects such as moment polytopes or fans. Moreover, equivariant cohomology theory and homotopy theory play important roles in the study of such topics. The rank of the acting torus is half of the dimension of the space mentioned above, but in this conference the focus is on torus actions of arbitrary rank, and on the correspondence of such spaces with combinatorial objects. Also covered, are geometric objects without torus actions, on which can be associated combinatorial structures such as Okounkov bodies. All those working in the fields of algebaric topology, transformation group theory, toric geometry, symplectic geometry, and combinatorics are encouraged to participate in the conference.
