Tropical trigonal curves: the general case

Algebraic Geometry 2025-09-12 v1

Abstract

This paper is a follow-up of a previous work in which we show that, for a 33-edge connected tropical curve Γ\Gamma, the existence of a divisor of degree 33 and Baker-Norine rank at least 11 in Γ\Gamma is equivalent to the existence of a non-degenerate harmonic morphism of degree 33 from a tropical modification of Γ\Gamma to a tropical rational curve. In this work, we extend this result to a tropical curve with lower edge connectivity which does not contain a cycle of (at least three) separating vertices (a so-called necklace).
