We investigate a canonical extension of a conventional combinatorial notion of reduced divisors to a notion of tropical projections, which can be defined as the unique minimizers of the so-called $B$-pseudonorms with respect to compact…

A key issue in tropical geometry is the lifting of intersection points to a non-Archimedean field. Here, we ask: Where can classical intersection points of planar curves tropicalize to? An answer should have two parts: first, identifying…

We introduce the first graph kernels for metric graphs via tropical algebraic geometry. In contrast to conventional graph kernels based on graph combinatorics such as nodes, edges, and subgraphs, our metric graph kernels are purely based on…
