Thread: Complex Multiplication OR Toric Varieties?

Hi guys,

I need to pick a project for my Masters soon & I know exactly which lecturer I want to supervise me (he's AWESOME! :-D )

He's offering 2 projects that I can choose from - one of Complex Multiplication of Elliptic Curves with a little bit of Hodge Theory towards the end & one on Toric Varieties.

I've chatted with him about them, but still can't decide which to go with as he says they shall both be "very interesting" & "very fun".

Does anyone have an opinion on these 2 areas & can help me decide between them?

Any help would be most appreciated! :-)

I never learned them but I can say that David Hilbert said that the theory of complex multiplication of elliptic curves was not just the most beautiful subject of math but of all science.
