Sommersemester 2013
Group actions on algebraic varieties
The purpose of the course is to give an introduction to geometric invariant theory at an advanced undergraduate level. We will start by looking at group actions on sets and topological
spaces, and then move on to the setting of affine and projective varieties.

Sommersemester 2011
Introduction to toric varieties
The aim of this course is to acquaint the audience with the basics of toric geometry, which is an elegant mixture of algebra, combinatorics and geometry. We will mainly follow the excellent
recent book "Toric varieties" by Cox, Little, and Schenck, which up to now has been made available online
here. Contrary to all appearances, the lectures will be conducted in German.
