Abstract

We study amoebas of exponential sums as functions of the support set AA. To any amoeba, we associate a set of approximating sections of amoebas, which we call caissons. We show that a bounded modular lattice of subspaces of a certain vector space induces a lattice structure on the set of caissons. Our results unifies the theories of lopsided amoebas and amoebas of exponential sums. As an application, we show that our theory of caissons yields improved certificates for existence of certain components of the complement of an amoeba.
