Picard groups for tropical toric schemes
Abstract
From any monoid scheme (also known as an -scheme) one can pass to a semiring scheme (a generalization of a tropical scheme) by scalar extension to an idempotent semifield . We prove that for a given irreducible monoid scheme (satisfying some mild conditions) and an idempotent semifield , the Picard group of is stable under scalar extension to (and in fact to any field ). In other words, we show that the groups and (and ) are isomorphic. In particular, if is a toric variety, then is the same as the Picard group of the associated tropical scheme. The Picard groups can be computed by considering the correct sheaf cohomology groups. We also define the group of Cartier divisors modulo principal Cartier divisors for a cancellative semiring scheme and prove that is isomorphic to .
