In recent years I have been studying algebraic varieties carrying large groups of symmetries, such as toric varieties, flag manifolds, Schubert varieties, and quiver cycles. While individually complicated, these can be broken up (really, degenerated) into many simple pieces, at which point their study becomes a matter of combinatorics rather than geometry.
