     Cohomology of
          toric vector bundles via Weil decorations 
       
      One can write
        divisors D as a difference of two nef divisors. In the toric
        context, this translates into the formal difference of two
        polytopes P-Q. It is possible to express the cohomology of O(D)
        via these two polytopes. In my talk I will show how this
        approach can be generalized to vector bundles E of higher rank.
        Using the language of Weil decorations, the cohomology of E will
        be related to the cohomology of a constructible sheaf. This is
        joint work with Klaus Altmann and Frederik Witt.

      Stable lattices in Bruhat-Tits
              buildings: algebra, geometry, and combinatorics
              
            Let K be a discretely valued field with ring of integers
        R and let d be a positive integer. Then the rank d free
        R-submodules of K^d (called R-lattices) are the 0-simplices of
        an infinite simplicial complex called a Bruhat-Tits building. If
        O is an order in the ring of dxd matrices over K, then the
        collection of lattices that are also O-modules (called
        O-lattices) is a non-empty, bounded and convex subset of the
        building. Determining what these subsets are is in general a
        difficult question. 
        I will report on joint work with Yassine El Maazouz, Gabriele
        Nebe, Marvin Hahn, and Bernd Sturmfels describing the geometric
        and combinatorial features of the set of O-lattices for some
        particular orders.
