A tropical expansion is a degeneration of a toroidal embedding, induced by a polyhedral subdivision of its tropicalisation. Each irreducible component of a tropical expansion admits a collapsing map down to a stratum of the original…

In this paper we give an interpretation to the boundary points of the compactification of the parameter space of convex projective structures on an n-manifold M. These spaces are closed semi-algebraic subsets of the variety of characters of…

We study the tropicalization of the image of the cone of positive definite matrices under the principal minors map. It is a polyhedral subset of the set of $M$-concave functions on the discrete $n$-dimensional cube. We show it coincides…

We systematically produce algebraic varieties with torus action by constructing them as suitably embedded subvarieties of toric varieties. The resulting varieties admit an explicit treatment in terms of toric geometry and graded ring…

Tropical varieties are polyhedral shadows of classical varieties. The purpose of these expository notes is to explain the origin of this polyhedral complex structure from the perspective of Gr\"obner bases. To appear in the proceedings of…

Under suitable conditions on a family of logarithmic curves, we endow the tropicalization of the family with an affine structure in a neighborhood of the sections in such a way that the tropical $\psi$ classes from \cite{psi-classes} arise…

The hypertoric variety $\mathfrak{M}_{\mathcal{A}}$ defined by an affine arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ admits a natural tropicalization, induced by its embedding in a Lawrence toric variety. We explicitly describe the polyhedral structure of…

Let E be a plane in an algebraic torus over an algebraically closed field. Given a balanced 1-dimensional fan C in the tropicalization of E, i.e. in the Bergman fan of the corresponding matroid, we give a complete algorithmic answer to the…

We show that points in the intersection of the tropicalizations of subvarieties of a torus lift to algebraic intersection points with expected multiplicities, provided that the tropicalizations intersect in the expected dimension. We also…

Given an algebraic variety defined over a discrete valuation field and a skeleton of its Berkovich analytification, the tropicalization process transforms function field of the variety to a semifield of tropical functions on the skeleton.…

We contribute to the foundations of tropical geometry with a view towards formulating tropical moduli problems, and with the moduli space of curves as our main example. We propose a moduli functor for the moduli space of curves and show…

We construct a logarithmic version of the Hilbert scheme, and more generally the Quot scheme, of a simple normal crossings pair. The logarithmic Quot space admits a natural tropicalisation called the space of tropical supports, which is a…

A realisation of a graph in the plane as a bar-joint framework is rigid if there are finitely many other realisations, up to isometries, with the same edge lengths. Each of these finitely-many realisations can be seen as a solution to a…

The concepts of tropical-semiring and tropical hypersurface, are extended for an arbitrary ordered group. Then, we define the tropicalization of a polynomial with coefficients in a Krull-valued field. After a close study of the properties…
