Every graph has a Kirchoff polynomial. This is a multivariate polynomial whose monomial support naturally corresponds to the spanning trees of the graph. Kirchoff polynomials are the first examples of configuration polynomials. Every subspace of a based vector space yields a configuration polynomial which exhibits tension between the combinatorics of the underlying matroid and the geometry of the vector space embedding. Configuration polynomials appear in the literature around Feynman integrals, but are also algebraically/combinatorially interesting in their own right. I will describe the construction and discuss algo-geometric aspects of configuration hypersurfaces including: their singularities (which turn out to be rational/strongly F-regular); their dual varieties; their normalized Nash blow-ups; the singularities of the latter (which also turn out to be similarly nice). Time permitting I will hint at an explicit resolution of singularities. This is based on various joint works between the author and various subsets of Denham, Mustata, Schulze, and Walther.
