J.-P. Brasselet
Toric varieties and singularities

Toric varieties are specially interesting objects in mathematics,
due to their relation to combinatorial geometry and algebraic 
topology (and geometry).
In this talk we will see examples of such relation
concerning an interpretation of the Poincare morphism and
Chern classes for singular toric varieties.
