Forbidden Patterns in Tropical Plane Curves

Combinatorics 2021-08-03 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

Tropical curves in R2\mathbb{R}^2 correspond to metric planar graphs but not all planar graphs arise in this way. We describe several new classes of graphs which cannot occur. For instance, this yields a full combinatorial characterization of the tropically planar graphs of genus at most five.
