“Geometric Invariant Theory and
Einstein-Weyl Geometry”

by

MUSTAFA KALAFAT

(METU)

Abstract:  We give a
survey of Geometric Invariant Theory for Toric
Varieties, and present an application to the Einstein-Weyl
Geometry. We compute the image of the Minitwistor
space of the Honda metrics as a categorical quotient according to the most
efficient linearization. The result is the complex weighted projective space CP_(1,1,2). We also find and classify all possible quotients.
