Computational Algebraic Geometry
Normalization is the process of transforming a singular algebraic variety into a regular one, ensuring that the resulting space is 'well-behaved' and free from singularities. This process helps in understanding the geometry and structure of varieties, allowing mathematicians to analyze them more effectively, especially in the context of toric varieties where combinatorial data plays a crucial role.
