We introduce tropical analogues of the notion of volume of polytopes, leading to a tropical version of the (discrete) classical isoperimetric inequality. The planar case is elementary, but a higher-dimensional generalization leads to an…
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…
We enumerate rational curves in toric surfaces passing through points and satisfying cross-ratio constraints using tropical and combinatorial methods. Our starting point is arXiv:1509.07453, where a tropical-algebraic correspondence theorem…
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 establish a new notion of tropical convexity for signed tropical numbers. We provide several equivalent descriptions involving balance relations and intersections of open halfspaces as well as the image of a union of polytopes over…
For a tropical prevariety $V\subset \RR^n$ (being a finite union of rational polyhedra) we define a tropical Hilbert function $TH_V(k)$ to be the maximal number of tropically independent on $V$ among tropical monomials with degrees at most…
We study the notion of singular tropical hypersurfaces of any dimension. We characterize the singular points in terms of tropical Euler derivatives and we give an algorithm to compute all singular points. We also describe non-transversal…
We use the motivic obstruction to stable rationality introduced by Shinder and the first-named author to establish several new classes of stably irrational hypersurfaces and complete intersections. In particular, we show that very general…
We establish a partial extension of the Poincar\'e duality theorem of Jell-Rau-Shaw to tropical hypersurfaces arising from non-primitive triangulations. We introduce a notion of level of primitivity for triangulations of lattice polytopes…
In this short note we prove a formula for local heights on elliptic curves over number fields in terms of intersection theory on a regular model over the ring of integers.
We present two effective tools for computing the positive tropicalization of algebraic varieties. First, we outline conditions under which the initial ideal can be used to compute the positive tropicalization, offering a real analogue to…
In this paper we study a construction of algebraic curves from combinatorial data. In the study of algebraic curves through degeneration, graphs usually appear as the dual intersection graph of the central fiber. Properties of such graphs…
The growth of tropical geometry has generated significant interest in the tropical semiring in the past decade. However, there are other semirings in tropical algebra that provide more information, such as the symmetrized (max, +),…
In this paper we study general tropical linear spaces locally: For any basis B of the matroid underlying a tropical linear space L, we define the local tropical linear space L_B to be the subcomplex of L consisting of all vectors v that…
We give upper bounds for the dimension of the set of hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^N$ whose intersection with a fixed integral projective variety is not integral. Our upper bounds are optimal. As an application, we construct, when possible,…
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…
We develop a combinatorial framework to study certain polyhedral maps which are higher-dimensional analogues of tropical covers between metric graphs. Under a mild combinatorial assumption, we show that a map satisfies the so-called…
Building on our earlier work on toric residues and reduction, we give a proof for the mixed toric residue conejecture of Batyrev and Materov. We simplify and streamline our technique of tropical degenerations, which allows one to…
This work tackles the problem of characterizing and understanding the decision boundaries of neural networks with piecewise linear non-linearity activations. We use tropical geometry, a new development in the area of algebraic geometry, to…
We use tropical geometry to compute the multidegree and Newton polytope of the hypersurface of a statistical model with two hidden and four observed binary random variables, solving an open question stated by Drton, Sturmfels and Sullivant…
