Links of Gorenstein toric isolated singularities are good toric contact  manifolds with zero first

Links of Gorenstein toric isolated singularities are good toric contact  manifolds with zero first Chern class. In this talk I will present some  results relating contact and singularity invariants in this particular  toric context. Namely,  (i) I will explain why the contact mean Euler characteristic is equal  to the Euler characteristic of any crepant toric smooth resolution of  the singularity (joint work with Leonardo Macarini).  (ii) I will discuss applications of contact invariants of Lens spaces  that arise as links of Gorenstein cyclic quotient singularities (joint  work with Leonardo Macarini and Miguel Moreira).
