A variety is rationally connected if two general points can be joined by a rational curve. A higher version of this notion is rational simple connectedness, which requires suitable spaces of rational curves through two points to be…
In this paper we further develop the theory of matrices over the extended tropical semiring. Introducing a notion of tropical linear dependence allows for a natural definition of matrix rank in a sense that coincides with the notions of…
To a compact tropical variety of arbitrary dimension, we associate a collection of intermediate Jacobians defined in terms of tropical homology and tropical monodromy. We then develop an Abel-Jacobi theory in the tropical setting by…
We introduce a notion of tropical vector bundle on a tropical toric variety which is a tropical analogue of a torus equivariant vector bundle on a toric variety. Alternatively it can be called a toric matroid bundle. We define equivariant…
We present tools and definitions to study abstract tropical manifolds in dimension 2, which we call simply tropical surfaces. This includes explicit descriptions of intersection numbers of 1-cycles, normal bundles to some curves and…
We introduce the minor-closed, dual-closed class of multi-path matroids. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for computing the Tutte polynomial of a multi-path matroid, we describe their basis activities, and we prove some basic structural…
We extend the definitions of Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) cycles of matroids to tropical manifolds. To do this, we provide an alternate description of CSM cycles of matroids which is invariant under integer affine transformations.…
We show algorithms for computing representative families for matroid intersections and use them in fixed-parameter algorithms for set packing, set covering, and facility location problems with multiple matroid constraints. We complement our…
We analyse the dynamics of the pullback of the map $z \longmapsto z^m$ on the complex tori and toric varieties. We will observe that tropical objects naturally appear in the limit, and review several theorems in tropical geometry.
We study derived intersections of smooth analytic cycles, and provide in some cases necessary and sufficient conditions for this intersection be formal. In particular, if X is a complex submanifold of a complex manifold Y, we prove that X…
In this paper we study a construction of algebraic curves from combinatorial data. In the study of algebraic curves through degeneration, graphs usually appear as the dual intersection graph of the central fiber. Properties of such graphs…
A result of Mason, as refined by Ingleton, characterizes transversal matroids as the matroids that satisfy a set of inequalities that relate the ranks of intersections and unions of nonempty sets of cyclic flats. We prove counterparts, for…
We provide some new local obstructions to approximating tropical curves in smooth tropical surfaces. These obstructions are based on the relation between tropical and complex intersection theories which is also established here. We give two…
Building on our earlier work on toric residues and reduction, we give a proof for the mixed toric residue conejecture of Batyrev and Materov. We simplify and streamline our technique of tropical degenerations, which allows one to…
Describing the combinatorial structure of the tropical complex $C$ of a tropical matroid polytope, we obtain a formula for the coarse types of the maximal cells of $C$. Due to the connection between tropical complexes and resolutions of…
We consider the Chow ring with rational coefficients of the Jacobian of a curve. Assume D is a divisor in a base point free g^r_d of the curve such that the canonical divisor K is a multiple of the divisor D. We find relations between…
We study tropical degree bounds, stable tropical intersections, and tropical B\'ezout-type estimates through the geometry of Newton polytopes, mixed subdivisions, and lattice indices. We establish an upper bound for the tropical degree of a…
For a symmetric 2t-cycle in the tope graph of a simple oriented matroid M on the ground set {1,...,t}, where t is even, we describe decompositions of topes and subtopes of M with respect to the subtopes corresponding to the edges of the…
Swartz proved that any matroid can be realized as the intersection lattice of an arrangement of codimension one homotopy spheres on a sphere. This was an unexpected extension from the oriented matroid case, but unfortunately the…
We propose a definition of tropical linear series that isolates some of the essential combinatorial properties of tropicalizations of not-necessarily-complete linear series on algebraic curves. The definition combines the Baker-Norine…
