Title: Spherical tropicalization
Speaker: Desmond Coles (UT Austin)

Abstract: In recent decades tropical geometry, the study of algebraic varieties by constructing an associated 'combinatorial shadow', has proven to be a fruitful toolkit in many areas of algebraic geometry. The starting point for constructing these shadows has often been the tropicalization of toric varieties. In this talk I will explain how tropicalization can be extended to a larger class of varieties, spherical varieties, and I will also discuss the connection with Berkovich geometry.
