Lifting harmonic morphisms I: metrized complexes and Berkovich skeleta

O Amini, M Baker, E Brugallé, J Rabinoff - Research in the Mathematical …, 2015 - Springer
Let K be an algebraically closed, complete non-Archimedean field. The purpose of this
paper is to carefully study the extent to which finite morphisms of algebraic K-curves are …

Degeneration of linear series from the tropical point of view and applications

M Baker, D Jensen - Nonarchimedean and tropical geometry, 2016 - Springer
We discuss linear series on tropical curves and their relation to classical algebraic geometry,
describe the main techniques of the subject, and survey some of the recent major …

Lifting harmonic morphisms II: tropical curves and metrized complexes

O Amini, M Baker, E Brugallé, J Rabinoff - Algebra & Number Theory, 2015 - msp.org
We prove several lifting theorems for morphisms of tropical curves. We interpret the
obstruction to lifting a finite harmonic morphism of augmented metric graphs to a morphism …

Gonality of algebraic curves and graphs

L Caporaso - Algebraic and Complex Geometry: In Honour of Klaus …, 2014 - Springer
We define d-gonal weighted graphs using “harmonic indexed” morphisms, and prove that a
combinatorial locus of M_ g contains ad-gonal curve if the corresponding graph is d-gonal …

Tropical amplitudes

P Tourkine - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2017 - Springer
In this work, we argue that the α'→ 0 α′→ 0 limit of closed string theory scattering
amplitudes is a tropical limit. The motivation is to develop a technology to systematize the …

Treewidth is a lower bound on graph gonality

J van Dobben de Bruyn, D Gijswijt - Algebraic Combinatorics, 2020 - numdam.org
We prove that the (divisorial) gonality of a finite connected graph is lower bounded by its
treewidth. Graphs for which equality holds include the grid graphs and the complete …

Moduli of tropical plane curves

S Brodsky, M Joswig, R Morrison… - Research in the …, 2015 - Springer
We study the moduli space of metric graphs that arise from tropical plane curves. There are
far fewer such graphs than tropicalizations of classical plane curves. For fixed genus g, our …

A smooth compactification of the space of genus two curves in projective space: via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein curves

L Battistella, F Carocci - Geometry & Topology, 2023 - msp.org
We construct a modular desingularisation of ℳ 2, n (ℙ r, d) main⁡. The geometry of
Gorenstein singularities of genus two leads us to consider maps from prestable admissible …

Semistable types of hyperelliptic curves

T Dokchitser, V Dokchitser, C Maistret… - Algebraic curves and …, 2019 - books.google.com
In this paper, we explore three combinatorial descriptions of semistable types of hyperelliptic
curves over local fields: dual graphs, their quotient trees by the hyperelliptic involution, and …

Tropicalization of classical moduli spaces

Q Ren, SV Sam, B Sturmfels - Mathematics in Computer Science, 2014 - Springer
The image of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement under a monomial map can be
tropicalized combinatorially using matroid theory. We apply this to classical moduli spaces …
