We tropicalize the rational map that takes triples of points in the projective plane to the plane of quadrics passing through these points. The image of its tropicalization is contained in the tropicalization of its image. We identify these…
We introduce the notion of tropical area of a tropical curve defined in an open subset of $\mathbb R^n$. We prove that the number of vertices of a tropical curve is bounded by the area of the curve. The approach is totally elementary yet…
We consider the question of when points in tropical affine space uniquely determine a tropical hypersurface. We introduce a notion of multiplicity of points so that this question may be meaningful even if some of the points coincide. We…
A tropical curve \Gamma is a metric graph with possibly unbounded edges, and tropical rational functions are continuous piecewise linear functions with integer slopes. We define the complete linear system |D| of a divisor D on a tropical…
The paper establishes a formula for enumeration of curves of arbitrary genus in toric surfaces. It turns out that such curves can be counted by means of certain lattice paths in the Newton polygon. The formula was announced earlier in…
A graph profile records all possible densities of a fixed finite set of graphs. Profiles can be extremely complicated; for instance the full profile of any triple of connected graphs is not known, and little is known about hypergraph…
The paper describes behavior of log-inflection points of curves in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ under passing to the tropical limit. We show that such points accumulate by pairs at the midpoints of bounded edges in the limiting tropical curve.…
For any simple digraph $D$ we offer a new proof for the intersection number of its middle digraph, $M(D)$; while doing so we also solve for the intersection number when $D$ has loops. In addition, a new transformation, the union of $D$ and…
Tropicalizations form a bridge between algebraic and convex geometry. We generalize basic results from tropical geometry which are well-known for special ground fields to arbitrary non-archimedean valued fields. To achieve this, we develop…
This is an attempt to look at the tropical geometry from topological point of view.
We investigate the interplay between linear systems on curves and graphs in the context of specialization of divisors on an arithmetic surface. We also provide some applications of our results to graph theory, arithmetic geometry, and…
Many important problems in extremal combinatorics can be stated as certifying polynomial inequalities in graph homomorphism numbers, and in particular, many ask to certify pure binomial inequalities. For a fixed collection of graphs…
We classify trivalent graphs with 16 vertices and 16 edges that arise from intersecting two quadratic surfaces in tropical 3-space. There are 4,009 such graphs, representing maximally degenerate stable models of elliptic curves realized as…
A tropical complete intersection curve C in R^(n+1) is a transversal intersection of n smooth tropical hypersurfaces. We give a formula for the number of vertices of C given by the degrees of the tropical hypersurfaces. We also compute the…
We develop a number of general techniques for comparing analytifications and tropicalizations of algebraic varieties. Our basic results include a projection formula for tropical multiplicities and a generalization of the Sturmfels-Tevelev…
We investigate, using purely combinatorial methods, structural and algorithmic properties of linear equivalence classes of divisors on tropical curves. In particular, an elementary proof of the Riemann-Roch theorem for tropical curves,…
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…
The set of tritangent planes to smooth tropical space sextic curves has 15 connected components, recording continuous displacements of planes preserving the tritangency condition. These 15 tritangent classes are polyhedral complexes in…
We give a complete description of Green's D relation for the multiplicative semigroup of all n-by-n tropical matrices. Our main tool is a new variant on the duality between the row and column space of a tropical matrix (studied by Cohen,…
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…
