KP solitons from tropical limits

D Agostini, C Fevola, Y Mandelshtam… - Journal of Symbolic …, 2023 - Elsevier
We study solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation whose underlying algebraic
curves undergo tropical degenerations. Riemann's theta function becomes a finite …

Schottky algorithms: classical meets tropical

L Chua, M Kummer, B Sturmfels - Mathematics of computation, 2019 - ams.org
We present a new perspective on the Schottky problem that links numerical computing with
tropical geometry. The task is to decide whether a symmetric matrix defines a Jacobian, and …

Theta Characteristics of Tropical K 4-Curves

M Chan, P Jiradilok - … Algebraic Geometry: Selected Papers From the 2016 …, 2017 - Springer
AK 4-curve is a smooth proper curve X of genus 3 over a field with valuation whose
Berkovich skeleton Γ is a complete graph on four vertices. The curve X has 28 effective theta …

Theta surfaces

D Agostini, TÖ Çelik, J Struwe, B Sturmfels - Vietnam Journal of …, 2021 - Springer
A theta surface in affine 3-space is the zero set of a Riemann theta function in genus 3. This
includes surfaces arising from special plane quartics that are singular or reducible. Lie and …

The Dubrovin threefold of an algebraic curve

D Agostini, TÖ Çelik, B Sturmfels - Nonlinearity, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation that arise from a fixed complex
algebraic curve are parametrized by a threefold in a weighted projective space, which we …

Hirota varieties and rational nodal curves

C Fevola, Y Mandelshtam - Journal of Symbolic Computation, 2024 - Elsevier
The Hirota variety parameterizes solutions to the KP equation arising from a degenerate
Riemann theta function. In this work, we study in detail the Hirota variety arising from a …

Tritangent planes to space sextics: the algebraic and tropical stories

C Harris, Y Len - … algebraic geometry: selected papers from the 2016 …, 2017 - Springer
We discuss the classical problem of counting planes tangent to general canonical sextic
curves at three points. We determine the number of real tritangents when the curve is real …

Tropical superelliptic curves

M Brandt, PA Helminck - Advances in Geometry, 2020 - degruyter.com
We present an algorithm for computing the Berkovich skeleton of a superelliptic curve yn= f
(x) over a valued field. After defining superelliptic weighted metric graphs, we show that …
