Tautological classes of matroids

A Berget, C Eur, H Spink, D Tseng - Inventiones mathematicae, 2023 - Springer
We introduce certain torus-equivariant classes on permutohedral varieties which we call
“tautological classes of matroids” as a new geometric framework for studying matroids …

Log-concavity of characteristic polynomials and the Bergman fan of matroids

J Huh, E Katz - Mathematische Annalen, 2012 - Springer
In a recent paper, the first author proved the log-concavity of the coefficients of the
characteristic polynomial of a matroid realizable over a field of characteristic 0, answering a …

A tropical intersection product in matroidal fans

KM Shaw - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2013 - SIAM
We construct an intersection product on tropical cycles contained in the Bergman fan of a
matroid. To do this we first establish a connection between the operations of deletion and …

Lifting tropical intersections

B Osserman, S Payne - Documenta Mathematica, 2013 - ems.press
We show that points in the intersection of the tropicalizations of subvarieties of a torus lift to
algebraic intersection points with expected multiplicities, provided that the tropicalizations …

Tropical analytic geometry, Newton polygons, and tropical intersections

J Rabinoff - Advances in mathematics, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper we use the connections between tropical algebraic geometry and rigid-analytic
geometry in order to prove two main results. We use tropical methods to prove a theorem …

Matroid theory for algebraic geometers

E Katz - Nonarchimedean and tropical geometry, 2016 - Springer
This article is an introduction to matroid theory aimed at algebraic geometers. Matroids are
combinatorial abstractions of linear subspaces and hyperplane arrangements. Not all …

Hodge theory for tropical fans

O Amini, M Piquerez - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.15367, 2023 - arxiv.org
This paper is the first in a series devoted to the development of a Hodge theory for tropical
varieties. We introduce a notion of T-stability for tropical fans and prove that various …

Homology of tropical fans

O Amini, M Piquerez - arXiv preprint arXiv:2105.01504, 2021 - arxiv.org
The aim of this paper is to study homological properties of tropical fans and to propose a
notion of smoothness in tropical geometry, which goes beyond matroids and their Bergman …

Intersection theory on tropicalizations of toroidal embeddings

A Gross - Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We show how to equip the cone complexes of toroidal embeddings with additional structure
that allows to define a balancing condition for weighted subcomplexes. We then proceed to …

A tropical approach to nonarchimedean Arakelov geometry

W Gubler, K Künnemann - Algebra & Number Theory, 2017 - msp.org
Abstract Chambert-Loir and Ducros have recently introduced a theory of real valued
differential forms and currents on Berkovich spaces. In analogy to the theory of forms with …
