We study bitangents of non-smooth tropical plane quartics. Our main result is that with appropriate multiplicities, every such curve has 7 equivalence classes of bitangent lines. Moreover, the multiplicity of bitangent lines varies…

In this note I will explain how relative/log Gromov-Witten invariants of pairs $(X,D)$ with very ample smooth anticanonical divisor $D$ can be computed using algebro-combinatorial objects called scattering diagrams. The underlying principle…

We construct algebraic curves in abelian surfaces starting from tropical curves in real tori. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a tropical curve in a real torus to be realizable by an algebraic curve in an abelian surface.…

We show that, once translated to the dual setting of convex triangulations of lattice polytopes, results and methods from previous tropical works by Arnal-Renaudineau-Shaw, Renaudineau-Shaw, Renaudineau-Rau-Shaw, and Jell-Rau-Shaw extend to…

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 investigate the combinatorics of real double Hurwitz numbers with real positive branch points using the symmetric group. Our main focus is twofold. First, we prove correspondence theorems relating these numbers to counts of tropical real…

We study tropical line arrangements associated to a three-regular graph $G$ that we refer to as \emph{tropical graph curves}. Roughly speaking, the tropical graph curve associated to $G$, whose genus is $g$, is an arrangement of $2g-2$…

Tropicalization is a procedure that takes subvarieties of an algebraic torus to balanced weighted rational complexes in space. In this paper, we study the tropicalizations of curves in surfaces in 3-space. These are balanced rational…
