We show that tropicalization of linear series on curves gives rise to two-parameter families of tilings by polymatroids, with one parameter arising from the theory of divisors on tropical curves and the other from the reduction of linear…

We consider arrangements of tropical hyperplanes where the apices of the hyperplanes are taken to infinity in certain directions. Such an arrangement defines a decomposition of Euclidean space where a cell is determined by its `type' data,…

We present two effective tools for computing the positive tropicalization of algebraic varieties. First, we outline conditions under which the initial ideal can be used to compute the positive tropicalization, offering a real analogue to…

We define a formal framework for the study of algebras of type Max-plus, Min-Plus, tropical algebras, and more generally algebras over a commutative idempotent semi-field. This work is motivated by the increasingly diversified use of these…

We study Jacobian varieties for tropical curves. These are real tori equipped with integral affine structure and symmetric bilinear form. We define tropical counterpart of the theta function and establish tropical versions of the…

We discuss the tropical analogues of several basic questions of convex duality. In particular, the polar of a tropical polyhedral cone represents the set of linear inequalities that its elements satisfy. We characterize the extreme rays of…

We consider the tropicalization of tangent lines to a complete intersection curve $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$. Under mild hypotheses, we describe a procedure for computing the tropicalization of the image of the Gauss map of $X$ in terms of the…

We consider tropical hemispaces, defined as tropically convex sets whose complements are also tropically convex, and tropical semispaces, defined as maximal tropically convex sets not containing a given point. We introduce the concept of…

Given a curve defined over an algebraically closed field which is complete with respect to a nontrivial valuation, we study its tropical Jacobian. This is done by first tropicalizing the curve, and then computing the Jacobian of the…

Already for bivariate tropical polynomials, factorization is an NP-Complete problem. In this paper, we give an efficient algorithm for factorization and rational factorization of a rich class of tropical polynomials in $n$ variables.…

We study tropical commuting matrices from two viewpoints: linear algebra and algebraic geometry. In classical linear algebra, there exist various criteria to test whether two square matrices commute. We ask for similar criteria in the realm…

We develop a tropical analogue of the classical double description method allowing one to compute an internal representation (in terms of vertices) of a polyhedron defined externally (by inequalities). The heart of the tropical algorithm is…

Let d be a positive integer. There are several versions of d-gonality for tropical curves, stable d-gonality and divisorial d-gonality, which are both inspired by d-gonality for compact Riemann surfaces. However, that conditions are not…

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…
