Abstract

Metric trees and metric tree arrangements index cones in the polyhedral fan structure in the Dressian Dr(2,n)Dr(2,n) and Dr(3,n)Dr(3,n) respectively. We introduce the notion of generalized metric tree arrangements which parameterize points in Dr(k,n)Dr(k,n) and extend previously known results to Dr(k,n)Dr(k,n) along with providing explicit examples of these generalized metric tree arrangements. We study the adjacency of cones in the positive Dressian Dr>0(3,n)Dr_{>0}(3, n) and introduce generalized Whitehead moves which provide a condition for adjacency of maximal cones in Dr>0(3,n)Dr_{>0}(3,n) in terms of the associated metric tree arrangements.
