Let $K$ be a real closed field with a nontrivial non-archimedean absolute value. We study a refined version of the tropicalization map, which we call real tropicalization map, that takes into account the signs on $K$. We study images of…

Let X be a plane in a torus over an algebraically closed field K, with tropicalization the matroidal fan Sigma. In this paper we present an algorithm which completely solves the question whether a given one-dimensional balanced polyhedral…

A degeneration of a singular curve on a toric surface, called a tropicalization, was constructed by E. Shustin. He classified the degeneration of 1-cuspidal curves using polyhedral complexes called tropical curves. In this paper, we define…

\textit{Harmonic amoebas} are generalisations of amoebas of algebraic curves immersed in complex tori. Introduced in \cite{Kri}, the consideration of such objects suggests to enlarge the scope of tropical geometry. In the present paper, we…

In the 1990's, Itenberg and Haas studied the relations between combinatorial data in Viro's patchworking and the topology of the resulting non-singular real algebraic curves in the projective plane. Using recent results from Renaudineau and…

We define arroids as an abstract axiom set encoding the intersection properties of arrangements of curves. The tropicalization of the complement of arrangement of curves meeting pairwise transversely is shown to be determined by the…

Under suitable conditions on a family of logarithmic curves, we endow the tropicalization of the family with an affine structure in a neighborhood of the sections in such a way that the tropical $\psi$ classes from \cite{psi-classes} arise…

We propose a generalization of tropical curves by dropping the rationality and integrality requirements while preserving the balancing condition. An interpretation of such curves as critical points of a certain quadratic functional allows…

We use a graph to define a new stability condition for algebraic moduli spaces of rational curves. We characterize when the tropical compactification of the moduli space agrees with the theory of geometric tropicalization. The…

Tropicalization is a procedure that assigns polyhedral complexes to algebraic subvarieties of a torus. If one fixes a weighted polyhedral complex, one may study the set of all subvarieties of a toric variety that have that complex as their…

This is a survey article written for the Jahresberichte der DMV. Tropical geometry can be viewed as an efficient combinatorial tool to study degenerations in algebraic geometry. Abstract tropical curves are essentially metric graphs, and…

We study the tropical version of the contraction morphism $\mathcal{T}$ between moduli spaces of stable and pseudostable curves. By promoting $\mathcal{T}$ to a logarithmic morphism, we obtain a piecewise linear function between the…

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…

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 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 $2g-2$…

The tropicalization of an algebraic variety X is a combinatorial shadow of X, which is sensitive to a closed embedding of X into a toric variety. Given a good embedding, the tropicalization can provide a lot of information about X. We…
