In this paper, we study the interplay between tropical and analytic geometry for closed subschemes of toric varieties. Let $K$ be a complete non-Archimedean field, and let $X$ be a closed subscheme of a toric variety over $K$. We define the…

In this paper we give an interpretation to the boundary points of the compactification of the parameter space of convex projective structures on an n-manifold M. These spaces are closed semi-algebraic subsets of the variety of characters of…

We define vector bundles for tropical schemes, and explore their properties. The paper largely consists of three parts; (1) we study free modules over zero-sum free semirings, which provide the necessary algebraic background for the theory…

We give closed-form formulas for the fundamental classes of degeneracy loci associated with vector bundle maps given locally by (not necessary square) matrices which are symmetric (resp. skew-symmetric) w.r.t. the main diagonal. Our…

We use sheaves and algebraic L-theory to construct the rational Pontryagin classes of fiber bundles with fiber R^n. This amounts to an alternative proof of Novikov's theorem on the topological invariance of the rational Pontryagin classes…

We construct relative Gromov--Witten theory with expanded degenerations in the normal crossings setting and establish a degeneration formula for the resulting invariants. Given a simple normal crossings pair $(X,D)$, we show that there…

We define a new symmetry for morphisms of vector bundles, called triality symmetry, and compute Chern class formulas for the degeneracy loci of such morphisms. In an appendix, we show how to canonically associate an octonion algebra bundle…

Let G be a classical complex Lie group, P any parabolic subgroup of G, and X = G/P the corresponding homogeneous space, which parametrizes (isotropic) partial flags of subspaces of a fixed vector space. In the mid 1990s, Fulton, Pragacz,…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety $X$. We study the family of sections $s_t\in H^0(E\otimes L_t)$ where $L_t\in Pic^0(X)$ is a family of topologically trivial line bundle and $L_0=\mathcal O_X,$ that is, we…

We define tropical analogues of the notions of linear space and Plucker coordinate and study their combinatorics. We introduce tropical analogues of intersection and dualization and define a tropical linear space built by repeated…

We show that a smooth 1-parameter family of foliations by circles of a closed 3-manifold, deforming the foliation whose leaves are the fibers of a circle bundle, is trivial, i.e. all the foliations of the family arise from circle bundles…

The notion of geometric construction is introduced. This notion allows to compare incidence configurations in the algebraic and tropical plane. We provide an algorithm such that, given a tropical instance of a geometric construction, it…

We introduce a notion of Lorentzian proper position in close analogy to proper position of stable polynomials. Using this notion, we give a new characterization of elementary quotients of M-convex function that parallels the Lorentzian…

We introduce tropical dual numbers as an extension of tropical semiring. By this innovation, one can work with honest ideals, instead of congruences, and recover the Euclidean topology on affine tropical spaces similar to Zariski's approach…

We define transversal tropical triangles (affine and projective) and characterize them via six inequalities to be satisfied by the coordinates of the vertices. We prove that the vertices of a transversal tropical triangle are tropically…

We prove a fundamental theorem for tropical partial differential equations, analogous to the fundamental theorem of tropical geometry in this context. We extend results from Aroca et al., Falkensteiner et al. and from Fink and Toghani for…

We describe a satisfactory theory of degeneration of quadratic forms in three variables in the most general setting possible: the quadratic forms are defined on rank 3 vector bundles over an arbitrary scheme and could have values in…

This is the revised version of our previous preprint. In this paper, we establish a generic smoothness result for moduli space of semistable sheaves of arbitrary rank over surfaces provided that the second Chern class of the sheaves is…

In this paper the authors consider a certain toroidal compactification of the moduli space of degenerations of (1,p)-polarized abelian surfaces with (canonical) level structure. Using Hodge theory we give a proof that a degenerate abelian…

We introduce and study a special class of ideals, called tropical ideals, in the semiring of tropical polynomials, with the goal of developing a useful and solid algebraic foundation for tropical geometry. The class of tropical ideals…
