In recent years a series of remarkable advances in tropical geometry and in non-archimedean geometry have brought new insights to the moduli theory of algebraic curves and their Jacobians. The goal of this survey, an expanded version of my…
The discriminant of a polynomial map is central to problems from affine geometry and singularity theory. Standard methods for characterizing it rely on elimination techniques that can often be ineffective. This paper concerns polynomial…
In this article, we present a massively parallel framework for computing tropicalizations of algebraic varieties which can make use of finite symmetries. We compute the tropical Grassmannian TGr$_0(3,8)$, and show that it refines the…
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…
Enumerative algebraic geometry deals with problems of counting geometric objects defined algebraically, An important class of enumerative problems is that of counting curves: given a class of curves in some projective variety defined by…
We introduce a tropical version of the Fukaya algebra of a Lagrangian submanifold. Tropical graphs arise as large-scale behavior of pseudoholomorphic disks under a multiple cut operation on a symplectic manifold that produces a collection…
Since the first famous correspondence theorem by Mikhalkin appeared in 2005, tropical geometry has allowed a parallel treatment of real and complex counting problems. A prime example are the genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of the plane…
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…
We study the algebraic structure of the semigroup of all $2 \times 2$ tropical matrices under multiplication. Using ideas from tropical geometry, we give a complete description of Green's relations and the idempotents and maximal subgroups…
We find a relation between mixed volumes of several polytopes and the convex hull of their union, deducing it from the following fact: the mixed volume of a collection of polytopes only depends on the product of their support functions…
We introduce the Macaulay2 package SparseResultants, which provides general tools for computing sparse resultants, sparse discriminants, and hyperdeterminants. We give some background on the theory and briefly show how the package works.
Some results on singularities of plurisubharmonic functions are put into the context of tropical mathematics.
A "tropical ideal" is an ideal in the idempotent semiring of tropical polynomials that is also, degree by degree, a tropical linear space. We introduce a construction based on transversal matroids that canonically extends any principal…
In this paper we further develop the theory of geometric tropicalization due to Hacking, Keel and Tevelev and we describe tropical methods for implicitization of surfaces. More precisely, we enrich this theory with a combinatorial formula…
Special fibrations of toric varieties have been used by physicists, e.g. the school of Candelas, to construct dual pairs in the study of Het/F-theory duality. Motivated by this, we investigate in this paper the details of toric morphisms…
In this paper we study the convergence of the max-consensus protocol. Tropical algebra is used to formulate the problem. Necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of the max-consensus protocol over fixed as well as switching…
We introduce a simple, easy to implement, and computationally efficient tropical convolutional neural network architecture that is robust against adversarial attacks. We exploit the tropical nature of piece-wise linear neural networks by…
We exploit three classical characterizations of smooth genus two curves to study their tropical and analytic counterparts. First, we provide a combinatorial rule to determine the dual graph of each algebraic curve and the metric structure…
We show that the counting of rational curves on a complete toric variety that are in general position to the toric prime divisors coincides with the counting of certain tropical curves. The proof is algebraic-geometric and relies on…
The theory of the topological vertex was originally proposed by Aganagic, Klemm, Mari\~no and Vafa as a means to calculate open Gromov-Witten invariants of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. In this paper, we place the topological vertex within…
