Using a potential theory on metric graphs "Gamma", we introduce the notion of tropical convexity to the space "RDiv^d(Gamma)" of effective R-divisors of degree d on "Gamma" and show that a natural metric can be defined on "RDiv^d(Gamma)".…
This is a survey on an analogue of tropical convexity developed over the max-min semiring, starting with the descriptions of max-min segments, semispaces, hyperplanes and an account of separation and non-separation results based on…
We continue, in this second article, the study of the the algebraic tools which play a role in tropical algebra. We especially examine here the polynomial algebras over idempotent semi-fields. this work is motivated by the development of…
Given a family of parameterized algebraic curves over a strictly semistable pair, we show that the simultaneous tropicalization of the curves in the family forms a family of parameterized tropical curves over the skeleton of the strictly…
A tropical matrix is a matrix defined over the max-plus semiring. For such matrices, there exist several non-coinciding notions of rank: the row rank, the column rank, the Schein/Barvinok rank, the Kapranov rank, or the tropical rank, among…
We introduce and study tropical eigenpairs of tensors, a generalization of the tropical spectral theory of matrices. We show the existence and uniqueness of an eigenvalue. We associate to a tensor a directed hypergraph and define a new type…
We continue our investigation into anisotropic topological field theories which arise from a tropical limit of conventional isotropic topological field theories. We analyze both the TBF theory and the tropical analogue of 2D topological…
A polytrope is a tropical polytope which at the same time is convex in the ordinary sense. A $d$-dimensional polytrope turns out to be a tropical simplex, that is, it is the tropical convex hull of $d+1$ points. This statement is equivalent…
Elements of the tropical vertex group are formal families of symplectomorphisms of the 2-dimensional algebraic torus. Commutators in the group are related to Euler characteristics of the moduli spaces of quiver representations and the…
Phylogenetic trees are the fundamental mathematical representation of evolutionary processes in biology. They are also objects of interest in pure mathematics, such as algebraic geometry and combinatorics, due to their discrete geometry.…
Let $A$, $B$ be two rings and $T=\left(\begin{smallmatrix} A & M \\ 0 & B \\\end{smallmatrix}\right)$ with $M$ an $A$-$B$-bimodule. We first construct a semi-complete duality pair $\mathcal{D}_{T}$ of $T$-modules using duality pairs in…
Since its introduction by Symons, the semigroup of maps with restricted range has been studied in the context of transformations on a set, or of linear maps on a vector space. Sets and vector spaces being particular examples of independence…
We introduce the notion of resultant of two planar curves in the tropical geometry framework. We prove that the tropicalization of the algebraic resultant can be used to compute the stable intersection of two tropical plane curves. It is…
Flag matroids are combinatorial abstractions of flags of linear subspaces, just as matroids are of linear subspaces. We introduce the flag Dressian as a tropical analogue of the partial flag variety, and prove a correspondence between: (a)…
An algorithm to give an explicit description of all the solutions to any tropical linear system $A\odot x=B\odot x$ is presented. The given system is converted into a finite (rather small) number $p$ of pairs $(S,T)$ of classical linear…
The tropical semiring is an algebraic system with addition ``$\max$'' and multiplication ``$+$''. As well as in conventional algebra, linear programming in the tropical semiring has been developed. In this study, we introduce a new type of…
We state the fundamental theorem of projective geometry for semimodules over semirings, which is facilitated by recent work in the study of bases in semimodules defined over semirings. In the process we explore in detail the linear algebra…
We show that the number of combinatorial types of clusters of type $D_4$ modulo reflection-rotation is exactly equal to the number of combinatorial types of tropical planes in $\mathbb{TP}^5$. This follows from a result of Sturmfels and…
Based on the notion of vectors and linear subspaces for a matroid, we develop a theory of flats and hyperplane arrangements for T-matroids, where T is a tract. This leads to several cryptomorphic descriptions of T-matroids: in terms of its…
We give an overview of recently implemented polymake features for computations in tropical geometry. The main focus is on explicit examples rather than technical explanations. Our computations employ tropical hypersurfaces, moduli of…
