Classification of spherical varieties
Actions hamiltoniennes : invariants et classification. 6 – 10 avril 2009, Les cours du CIRM, no. 1 (2010), pp. 99-111.

We give a short introduction to the problem of classification of spherical varieties, by presenting the Luna conjecture about the classification of wonderful varieties and illustrating some of the related currently known results.
