In this paper we study topology of moduli spaces of tropical curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points. We view the moduli spaces as being imbedded in a larger space, which we call the {\it moduli space of metric graphs with $n$ marked…

We prove that the moduli space of rational curves with cyclic action, constructed in our previous work, is realizable as a wonderful compactification of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement in a product of projective spaces. By…

The first secant variety of a projective monomial curve is a threefold with an action by a one-dimensional torus. Its tropicalization is a three-dimensional fan with a one-dimensional lineality space, so the tropical threefold is…

We study a notion of tropical linear series on metric graphs that combines two essential properties of tropicalizations of linear series on algebraic curves: the Baker-Norine rank and the independence rank. Our main results relate the local…

In a previous paper, we announced a formula to compute Gromov-Witten and Welschinger invariants of some toric varieties, in terms of combinatorial objects called floor diagrams. We give here detailed proofs in the tropical geometry…

We establish a canonical isomorphism between two bigraded cohomology theories for polyhedral spaces: Dolbeault cohomology of superforms and tropical cohomology. Furthermore, we prove Poincar\'e duality for cohomology of tropical manifolds,…

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…

The present paper is a sequel to our work on hybrid geometry of curves and their moduli spaces. We introduce a notion of hybrid Laplacian, formulate a hybrid Poisson equation, and give a mathematical meaning to the convergence both of the…

We describe a canonical compactification of a polyhedral complex in Euclidean space. When the recession cones of the polyhedral complex form a fan, the compactified polyhedral complex is a subspace of a tropical toric variety. In this case,…

We study new families of curves that are suitable for efficiently parametrizing their moduli spaces. We explicitly construct such families for smooth plane quartics in order to determine unique representatives for the isomorphism classes of…

The extension from toric varieties to quantum toric stacks allows for the study of moduli spaces of toric objects with fixed combinatorial structures, as we now consider general finitely generated subgroups of $\mathbb{R}^n$ as "lattices."…

In classical geometry, a linear space is a space that is closed under linear combinations. In tropical geometry, it has long been a consensus that tropical varieties defined by valuated matroids are the tropical analogue of linear spaces.…

We construct a combinatorial moduli space closely related to the KSV-compactification of the moduli space of bordered marked Riemann surfaces. The open part arises from symmetric metric ribbon graphs. The compactification is obtained by…

We study the moduli space of triples $(C, L_1, L_2)$ consisting of quartic curves $C$ and lines $L_1$ and $L_2$. Specifically, we construct and compactify the moduli space in two ways: via geometric invariant theory (GIT) and by using the…
