We study how geometric properties of tropical convex sets and polytopes, which are of interest in many application areas, manifest themselves in their algebraic structure as modules over the tropical semiring. Our main results establish a…

The resultant plays a crucial role in (computational) algebra and algebraic geometry. One of the most important and well known properties of the resultant is that it is equal to the determinant of the Sylvester matrix. In 2008, Odagiri…

We consider the action of a permutation group $G$ of order $k$ on the tropical polynomial semiring in $n$ variables. We prove that the sub-semiring of invariant polynomials is finitely generated if and only if $G$ is generated by…

We prove general Cramer type theorems for linear systems over various extensions of the tropical semiring, in which tropical numbers are enriched with an information of multiplicity, sign, or argument. We obtain existence or uniqueness…

As a new concept tropical halfspaces are introduced to the (linear algebraic) geometry of the tropical semiring (R,min,+). This yields exterior descriptions of the tropical polytopes that were recently studied by Develin and Sturmfels in a…

D. Grigoriev-G. Koshevoy recently proved that tropical Schur polynomials have (at worst) polynomial tropical semiring complexity. They also conjectured tropical skew Schur polynomials have at least exponential complexity; we establish a…

This is a foundational paper in tropical linear algebra, which is linear algebra over the min-plus semiring. We introduce and compare three natural definitions of the rank of a matrix, called the Barvinok rank, the Kapranov rank and the…

The tropical semiring is a semiring of extended real numbers, where the operations of `max' and `+' replace the usual addition and multiplication, respectively. Difference equations obtained from the ultradiscrete limit of discrete…

The symmetrized tropical semiring is an extension of the tropical semifield, initially introduced to solve tropical linear systems using Cramer's rule. It is equivalent to the real tropical hyperfield, which has been used in the study of…

A tropical (or min-plus) semiring is a set $\mathbb{Z}$ (or $\mathbb{Z \cup \{\infty\}}$) endowed with two operations: $\oplus$, which is just usual minimum, and $\odot$, which is usual addition. In tropical algebra the vector $x$ is a…

This paper concerns the notion of a symmetric algebra and its generalization to a quasi-symmetric algebra. We study the structure of these algebras in respect to their hull-kernel regularity and existence of some ideals, especially the…

The paper expands the theory of quadratic forms on modules over a semiring R, introduced in [12]-[14], especially in the setup of tropical and supertropical algebra. Isometric linear maps induce subordination on quadratic forms, and provide…

This is part of an ongoing project to find a general algebraic framework for semiring theory. The structure theory of semirings is quite challenging, largely because of the lack of negation, and such basic properties such as unique…

A new definition of prime congruences in additively idempotent semirings is given using twisted products. This class turns out to exhibit some analogous properties to the prime ideals of commutative rings. In order to establish a good…

We investigate border ranks of twisted powers of polynomials and smoothability of symmetric powers of algebras. We prove that the latter are smoothable. For the former, we obtain upper bounds for the border rank in general and prove that…

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…

A submodule $W$ of $V$ is summand absorbing, if $x + y \in W$ implies $x \in W, \; y \in W $ for any $x, y \in V$. Such submodules often appear in modules over (additively) idempotent semirings, particularly in tropical algebra. This paper…
