We construct immersions of trivalent abstract tropical curves in the Euclidean plane and embeddings of all abstract tropical curves in higher dimensional Euclidean space. Since not all curves have an embedding in the plane, we define the…
We prove that if X, X' are closed subschemes of a torus T over a non-Archimedean field K, of complementary codimension and with finite intersection, then the stable tropical intersection along a (possibly positive-dimensional, possibly…
A set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines unless these $n$ points are collinear. In 2006, Chen and Chv\'atal asked whether the same statement holds true in general metric spaces, where the line…
Given a tropical line $L$ and a smooth tropical surface $X$, we look at the position of $L$ on $X$. We introduce its primal and dual motif which are respectively a decorated graph and a subcomplex of the dual triangulation of $X$. They…
We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for real algebraic curves near the non-singular tropical limit to be hyperbolic with respect to a point, thus generalising Speyer's classification of stable curves near the tropical limit. In…
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…
Abstractly, tropical hyperelliptic curves are metric graphs that admit a two-to-one harmonic morphism to a tree. They also appear as embedded tropical curves in the plane arising from triangulations of polygons with all interior lattice…
This paper is the first part in a series of three papers devoted to the study of enumerative invariants of abelian surfaces through the tropical approach. In this paper, we consider the enumeration of genus $g$ curves of fixed degree…
A realisation of a graph in the plane as a bar-joint framework is rigid if there are finitely many other realisations, up to isometries, with the same edge lengths. Each of these finitely-many realisations can be seen as a solution to a…
Complex algebraic varieties become easy piecewise-linear objects after passing to the so-called tropical limit. Geometry of these limiting objects is known as tropical geometry. In this short survey we take a look at motivation and…
We show that points in the intersection of the tropicalizations of subvarieties of a torus lift to algebraic intersection points with expected multiplicities, provided that the tropicalizations intersect in the expected dimension. We also…
We prove that every connected component of an intersection of tropical hypersurfaces contains a point of their stable intersection unless their stable intersection is empty. This is done by studying algebraic hypersurfaces that tropicalize…
We develop a tropical intersection formalism of forms and currents that extends classical tropical intersection theory in two ways. First, it allows to work with arbitrary polytopes, also non-rational ones. Second, it allows for smooth…
The algebraic foundation of tropical polynomial algebra provides the framework for the geometric construction of the supplement and the reversal of tropical varieties, thereby inducing a duality of reduced tropical varieties; for classes of…
We study the tropical version of the contraction morphism $\mathcal{T}$ between moduli spaces of stable and pseudostable curves. By promoting $\mathcal{T}$ to a logarithmic morphism, we obtain a piecewise linear function between the…
De Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s proved that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal suggested a possible generalization of this theorem in the framework of metric spaces. We provide…
A few years ago, G. Oberdieck conjectured a multiple cover fomula that determines the number of curves of fixed genus and degree passing through a configuration of points in an abelian surface. This formula was proved by the author using…
This article explores to which extent the algebro-geometric theory of rational descendant Gromov-Witten invariants can be carried over to the tropical world. Despite the fact that the tropical moduli-spaces we work with are non-compact, the…
Tropical mathematics redefines the rules of arithmetic by replacing addition with taking a maximum, and by replacing multiplication with addition. After briefly discussing a tropical version of linear algebra, we study polynomials build…
We establish an exact formula for the average number of edges appearing on the boundary of the global convex hull of n independent Brownian paths in the plane. This requires the introduction of a counting criterion which amounts to "cutting…
