Abstract

We study tropically planar graphs, which are the graphs that appear in smooth tropical plane curves. We develop necessary conditions for graphs to be tropically planar, and compute the number of tropically planar graphs up to genus 77. We provide non-trivial upper and lower bounds on the number of tropically planar graphs, and prove that asymptotically 0%0\% of connected trivalent planar graphs are tropically planar.
