Toric variety and F-theory

This is a PhD topics course Advanced topics in Quantum Mathematics at CQM on Spring 2025. We will discuss basic toric geometry and certain applycations in Physics, especially in F-theory.

Bingyu will instruct the toric geometry part. Muyang will instruct the F-theory part.

The link for notes of the first part is here. It would be updated as the course progresses.
