Title: Toric varieties, higher duals and polytopes

Abstract:
I will present joint work with several coauthors on the description of 
(higher) duals of (equivariantly embedded) toric varieties and the 
relation with the associated polytopes/lattice configurations. The 
interplay between algebraic geometry and combinatorics allows us to 
prove algebro-geometric statements with combinatorial tools and 
combinatorial statements with algebro-geometric tools.
