Mustafin Varieties

Mustafin varieties are degeneration of projective spaces induced by finite subsets of a Bruhat-Tits building. They are related to configuration spaces, matroid subdivisions, tropical compactifications, and even to multiview problems in computer vision. I will report on my 2011 article on Mustafin varieties, jointly with Dusțin Cartwright, Matthias Haebich and Annette Werner, and I will point to more recent work in on this topic.
