DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TGiZ/22/">St
 ringy invariants and toric Artin stacks</a>\nby Jeremy Usatine (Brown Univ
 ersity) as part of Tropical Geometry in Frankfurt/Zoom TGiF/Z\n\n\nAbstrac
 t\nStringy Hodge numbers are certain generalizations\, to the singular set
 ting\, of Hodge numbers. Unlike usual Hodge numbers\, stringy Hodge number
 s are not defined as dimensions of cohomology groups. Nonetheless\, an ope
 n conjecture of Batyrev's predicts that stringy Hodge numbers are nonnegat
 ive. In the special case of varieties with only quotient singularities\, Y
 asuda proved Batyrev's conjecture by showing that the stringy Hodge number
 s are given by orbifold cohomology. For more general singularities\, a sim
 ilar cohomological interpretation remains elusive. I will discuss a conjec
 tural framework\, proven in the toric case\, that relates stringy Hodge nu
 mbers to motivic integration for Artin stacks\, and I will explain how thi
 s framework applies to the search for a cohomological interpretation for s
 tringy Hodge numbers. This talk is based on joint work with Matthew Satria
 no.\n
