DESCRIPTION:Francesca Carocci  (EPFL)\nIn the first part of the talk I wi
 ll recall a few basic notions of toric geometry and try to explain how log
  geometry generalises them. Afterwords\, we will see how this framework is
  helpful to interpret blow ups in a modular fashion. Finally\, we will see
  in the examples of maps to projective space of low genus how these techni
 ques apply to give a modular resolution of the main component of Kontsevic
 h's space of stable maps.\n\n(30 minutes general talk followed by 45 minut
 es research talk)
