In the talk we recall the definition of the (equivariant) Chow groups and of the Chern classes of vector bundles.

Next we specialize to the case of smooth toric varieties. We explicitly determine the Chow ring, the Chern classes of the tangent bundle, and apply the Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch formula to count the number of integral points in polyhedra.

Finally, we show how to extend the results to the case of toric fibrations.

The talk will take place in HA 409 (in the Haulting building)
