The Chow polytope of an algebraic cycle in a torus depends only on its tropicalisation. Generalising this, we associate a Chow polytope to any abstract tropical variety in a tropicalised toric variety. Several significant polyhedra…

We study the behavior of phylogenetic tree shapes in the tropical geometric interpretation of tree space. Tree shapes are formally referred to as tree topologies; a tree topology can also be thought of as a tree combinatorial type, which is…

In this paper, we give an explicit description of tropical cohomology of smooth algebraic varieties over trivially valued fields. We also construct ``monodromy weight'' spectral sequences for tropical cohomology of geometric strictly…

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…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group. We develop a Gr\"obner theory for multiplicity-free $G$-algebras, as well as a tropical geometry for subschemes in a spherical homogeneous space $G/H$. We define the notion of a spherical…

In earlier papers it was shown that the generic tropical variety of an ideal can contain information on algebraic invariants as for example the depth in a direct way. The existence of generic tropical varieties has so far been proved in the…

Given a closed subvariety of an algebraic torus, the associated tropical variety is a polyhedral fan in the space of 1-parameter subgroups of the torus which describes the behaviour of the subvariety at infinity. We show that the link of…

We explicitly describe the tropicalization of a type C cluster variety by identifying it with the space of axially symmetric phylogenetic trees. We also study the signed tropicalizations of this cluster variety, realizing them as subfans of…

The notions of convexity and convex polytopes are introduced in the setting of tropical geometry. Combinatorial types of tropical polytopes are shown to be in bijection with regular triangulations of products of two simplices. Applications…

We give an introduction to Tropical Geometry and prove some results in Tropical Intersection Theory. The first part of this paper is an introduction to tropical geometry aimed at researchers in Algebraic Geometry from the point of view of…

Tropical implicitization means computing the tropicalization of a unirational variety from its parametrization. In the case of a hypersurface, this amounts to finding the Newton polytope of the implicit equation, without computing its…

We introduce tropical complexes, as an enrichment of the dual complex of a degeneration with additional data from non-transverse intersection numbers. We define cycles, divisors, and linear equivalence on tropical complexes, analogous both…

Generalizing supertropical algebras, we present a "layered" structure, "sorted" by a semiring which permits varying ghost layers, and indicate how it is more amenable than the "standard" supertropical construction in factorizations of…

We construct moduli spaces of rational covers of an arbitrary smooth tropical curve in R^r as tropical varieties. They are contained in the balanced fan parametrizing tropical stable maps of the appropriate degree to R^r. The weights of the…

Tropical geometry is a relatively recent field in mathematics created as a simplified model for certain problems in algebraic geometry. We introduce the definition of abstract and planar tropical curves as well as their properties,…

Tropical geometry is a piecewise linear "shadow" of algebraic geometry. It allows for the computation of several cohomological invariants of an algebraic variety. In particular, its application to enumerative algebraic geometry led to…

Tropical polytopes are images of polytopes in an affine space over the Puiseux series field under the degree map. This viewpoint gives rise to a family of cellular resolutions of monomial ideals which generalize the hull complex of Bayer…

Tropical algebraic geometry is the geometry of the tropical semiring $(\mathbb{R},\min,+)$. Its objects are polyhedral cell complexes which behave like complex algebraic varieties. We give an introduction to this theory, with an emphasis on…

We define a tropical version $\F_d(\trop X)$ of the Fano Scheme $\F_d(X)$ of a projective variety $X\subseteq \mathbb P^n$ and prove that $\F_d(\trop X)$ is the support of a polyhedral complex contained in $\trop \Grp(d,n)$. In general…
