Smooth tropical surfaces with infinitely many tropical lines

Algebraic Geometry 2007-12-08 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We study the tropical lines contained in smooth tropical surfaces in R^3. On smooth tropical quadric surfaces we find two one-dimensional families of tropical lines, like in classical algebraic geometry. Unlike the classical case, however, there exist smooth tropical surfaces of any degree with infinitely many tropical lines.
