The second week consists of the following two courses and ten survey talks:

The classical n-body problem and its relative equilibria by Alain Albouy, Observatoire de Paris. Introduction to tropical geometry by Sam Payne, Yale University. Combinatorics and topology of toric varieties by Mircea Mustata, University of Michigan. Introduction to toric varieties by Alicia Dickenstein, Universidad de Buenos Aires. The first week consists of the following four courses: The main purpose of this research school is to motivate and train Latin American students and young researchers in these subjects. At the same time, the concrete and explicit nature of toric varieties makes them a perfect entrance door for young students and researchers to higher dimensional algebraic geometry. This adds to the more classical connections to combinatorics, computer algebra and singularity theory among others, and applications to other areas of science like mathematical biology and chemistry. In recent years, toric geometry has experienced a rapid growth with a wealth of new results and connections with other areas of mathematics like arithmetic geometry and number theory, dynamical systems, non-Archimedean and tropical geometry, mirror symmetry and birational geometry.
