SUMMARY:Mahler volumes and normalised volumes of singularities - Hendrik S
 üß (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena)

DESCRIPTION:In my talk I will discuss the notion of normalised volume for 
 singularities. For the special case of toric singularities this turns out 
 to be closely related to the notions of Mahler volume and Santal&oacute\; 
 point in convex geometry. I will explain how well-known facts from convex 
 geometry can be utilised to deduce non-trivial statements about toric sing
 ularities. I will also speculate about algebro-geometric interpretations o
 f the well-known Mahler conjecture in convex geometry.\nThis is joint work
  with Joaqu&iacute\;n Moraga.
