I’ll tell you about some of my favorite algebraic varieties, which are beautiful in their own right, and also have some dramatic applications to algebraic combinatorics. These include the top-heavy conjecture (one of the results for which June Huh was awarded the Fields Medal), as well as non-negativity of Kazhdan—Lusztig polynomials of matroids.
