Ehrhart analogue of the h-polynomial

Topic: 

In this talk I will explain how the Ehrhart problem of counting lattice
points in a polyhedron is equivalent to a problem in orbifold
cohomology. This equivalence can be used to prove a conjecture of
Stanley that relates the Ehrhart generating polynomial to toric
h-polynomials.
