Kapranov's theorem is a foundational result in tropical geometry. It states that the set of tropicalisations of points on a hypersurface coincides precisely with the tropical variety of the tropicalisation of the defining polynomial. The…

A tropical expansion is a degeneration of a toroidal embedding, induced by a polyhedral subdivision of its tropicalisation. Each irreducible component of a tropical expansion admits a collapsing map down to a stratum of the original…

Tropical Geometry and Mathematical Morphology share the same max-plus and min-plus semiring arithmetic and matrix algebra. In this chapter we summarize some of their main ideas and common (geometric and algebraic) structure, generalize and…

In this paper we further develop the theory of matrices over the extended tropical semiring. Introducing a notion of tropical linear dependence allows for a natural definition of matrix rank in a sense that coincides with the notions of…

The main result of this paper is a formula for the limit cycle of a 1-parameter family of subvarieties of a tropical compactification, expressed in terms of tropical intersections. Our theorem generalizes results of…

Tropical Geometry, an established field in pure mathematics, is a place where String Theory, Mirror Symmetry, Computational Algebra, Auction Theory, etc, meet and influence each other. In this paper, we report on our discovery of a tropical…

Recently, a theory for the tropicalization of a spherical homogeneous space $G/H$ was developed by Tassos Vogiannou. We extend his ideas to define the tropicalization of a spherical $G/H$-embedding. This generalizes the construction of…

We study the geometry of tropical balls in $\mathbb{R}^n$ equipped with the tropical metric introduced by Cohen, Gaubert and Quadrat, an additive form of Hilbert's projective metric. After defining the tropical length of rectifiable curves,…

In 1989 H. Tverberg proposed a quite general conjecture in Discrete geometry, which could be considered as the common basis for many results in Combinatorial geometry and at the same time as a discrete analogue of the common transversal…

In this thesis we study the relation between scattering diagrams and deformations of holomorphic pairs, building on a recent work of Chan--Conan Leung--Ma. The new feature is the extended tropical vertex group where the scattering diagrams…

In this paper, we compare the compactified Torelli morphism (as defined by V. Alexeev) and the tropical Torelli map (as defined by the author in a joint work with S. Brannetti and M. Melo, and furthered studied by M. Chan). Our aim is…

We consider Gromov's homological higher convexity for complements of tropical varieties, establishing it for complements of tropical hypersurfaces and curves, and for nonarchimedean amoebas of varieties that are complete intersections over…

Tropical geometry is a piecewise linear "shadow" of algebraic geometry. It allows for the computation of several cohomological invariants of an algebraic variety. In particular, its application to enumerative algebraic geometry led to…

The goal of this note is to affirm a local version of the conjecture of Nisse--Sottile [NS16] on higher convexity of complements of tropical varieties, while providing a family of counter-examples for the global Nisse--Sottle conjecture in…

Carath\'eodorys Theorem of convex hulls plays an important role in convex geometry. In 1982, B\'ar\'any formulated and proved a more general version, called the Colorful Carath\'eodory. This colorful version was even more generalized by…

We introduce the notion of tropical defects, certificates that a system of polynomial equations is not a tropical basis, and provide two algorithms for finding them in affine spaces of complementary dimension to the zero set. We use these…

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…
