Motivic integration was introduced by Kontsevich in 1995 and has proved useful in birational geometry and singularity theory. It assigns to constructible subsets of the arc space of a variety a “volume” which takes values in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic varieties, and it behaves in many ways just like usual integration. I will explain how motivic integration can be used to compute Batyrev's “stringy invariants”, which are a generalization of Hodge numbers to singular varieties, for a family of varieties with a torus action. A potential application is to the study of mirror symmetry for these varieties. (Joint with K. Langlois and M. Raibaut.)
