Abstract
We use piecewise polynomials to define tropical cocycles generalising the well-known notion of tropical Cartier divisors to higher codimensions. Groups of cocycles are tropical analogues of Chow cohomology groups. We also introduce an intersection product of cocycles with tropical cycles - the counterpart of the classical cap product - and prove that this gives rise to a Poincar\'e duality in some cases.
