More general surface singularities, especially the Du Val singularities and applications. Generalisation to higher dimensional orbifolds and toric varieties. Generalities on graded rings and the construction of Proj. Gorenstein rings in small codimension and unprojection. Toric varieties as deformations of tents. Diptych varieties and their application to 3-fold Mori theory.
