TML package uses tropical geometry for machine learning tasks.

Let $\mathrm{Out}(F_n)$ be the outer automorphism group of the free group $F_n$. It acts properly on the outer space $X_n$ of marked metric graphs, which is a finite-dimensional infinite simplicial complex with some simplicial faces missing. In this paper, we construct complete geodesic metrics and complete piecewise s…

Graph kernels for metric graphs using tropical algebra.

In this paper, we study the reconstruction problem of the holomorphic tangent bundle $\mathbb{T}_{\mathbb{P}^2}$ of the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. We introduce the notion of tropical Lagrangian multi-section and cook up one by tropicalizing the Chern connection associated the Fubini-Study metric. Then we …

Study Monge-Ampère equations on Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces, proving unique solutions and implications for special Lagrangian fibrations.

We compactify the classical moduli variety of compact Riemann surfaces by attaching moduli of (metrized) graphs as boundary. The compactifications do not admit the structure of varieties and patch together to form a big connected moduli space in which $\sqcup_{g} M_{g}$ is open dense. The metrized graphs, which are oft…

We consider the metric space of all toric Kähler metrics on a compact toric manifold; when "looking at it from infinity" (following Gromov), we obtain the tangent cone at infinity, which is parametrized by equivalence classes of complete geodesics. In the present paper, we study the associated limit for the family of m…

In this paper we give an interpretation to the boundary points of the compactification of the parameter space of convex projective structures on an n-manifold M. These spaces are closed semi-algebraic subsets of the variety of characters of representations of the fundamental group of M in SL_{n+1}(R). The boundary was …

Tropical SVM tackles phylogenomics by classifying multi-locus data.

We introduce in this paper the concept of tropical mirror hypersurfaces and we prove a complex tropical localization Theorem which is a version of Kapranov's Theorem \cite{K-00} in tropical geometry. We give a geometric and a topological equivalence between coamoebas of complex algebraic hypersurfaces defined by a maxi…

Proves cohomology theorems for tropical varieties.

This friendly introduction to tropical geometry is meant to be accessible to first year students in mathematics. The topics discussed here are basic tropical algebra, tropical plane curves, some tropical intersections, and Viro's patchworking. Each definition is explained with concrete examples and illustrations. To a …

We establish, for the first time, connections between feedforward neural networks with ReLU activation and tropical geometry --- we show that the family of such neural networks is equivalent to the family of tropical rational maps. Among other things, we deduce that feedforward ReLU neural networks with one hidden laye…

Mathematical analysis of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces using hybrid Laplacians.

This note is devoted to the definition of moduli spaces of rational tropical curves with n marked points. We show that this space has a structure of a smooth tropical variety of dimension n-3. We define the Deligne-Mumford compactification of this space and tropical $ψ$-class divisors.

This work uses tropical geometry to understand neural network decision boundaries.

The paper provides a combinatorial criterion for realizing tropical pluri-canonical divisors.

Using elementary ideas from Tropical Geometry, we assign a a tropical curve to every $q$-holonomic sequence of rational functions. In particular, we assign a tropical curve to every knot which is determined by the Jones polynomial of the knot and its parallels. The topical curve explains the relation between the AJ Con…

Tropical curves match to special Lagrangian shapes.

Paper constructs braid invariants using tropical Ptolemy equation.

To a tropical $p$-cycle $V_{\mathbb{T}}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we naturally associate a normal closed and $(p,p)$-dimensional current on $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ denoted by $\mathscr{T}_n^p(V_{\mathbb{T}})$. Such a "tropical current" $\mathscr{T}_n^p(V_{\mathbb{T}})$ will not be an integration current along any analytic set, si…

Develops tropical geometry for weighted Hurwitz numbers, generalizing previous results.

We use recent results by Bainbridge-Chen-Gendron-Grushevsky-Moeller on compactifications of strata of abelian differentials to give a comprehensive solution to the realizability problem for effective tropical canonical divisors in equicharacteristic zero. Given a pair $(Γ, D)$ consisting of a stable tropical curve $Γ$ …

We use tropical curves and toric degeneration techniques to construct closed embedded Lagrangian rational homology spheres in a lot of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We apply this construction to the tropical curves obtained from the 2875 lines on the quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. Each admissible tropical curve gives a Lagrang…

New theorem links tropical phased matroids to higher-dimensional spheres.

This survey consists of two parts. Part 1 is devoted to amoebas. These are images of algebraic subvarieties in the complex torus under the logarithmic moment map. The amoebas have essentially piecewise-linear shape if viewed at large. Furthermore, they degenerate to certain piecewise-linear objects called tropical vari…

We provide a moduli-theoretic framework for the collapsing of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics via compactification of moduli varieties of Morgan-Shalen and Satake type. In patricular, we use it to study the Gromov-Hausdorff limits of hyperKahler metrics with fixed diameters, especially for K3 surfaces.

A tropical curve in $\mathbb R^{3}$ contributes to Gromov-Witten invariants in all genus. Nevertheless, we present a simple formula for how a given tropical curve contributes to Gromov-Witten invariants when we encode these invariants in a generating function with exponents of $λ$ recording Euler characteristic. Our ma…

New method initializes sigmoidal MLPs for interpretable shapes.

We construct from a real affine manifold with singularities (a tropical manifold) a degeneration of Calabi-Yau manifolds. This solves a fundamental problem in mirror symmetry. Furthermore, a striking feature of our approach is that it yields an explicit and canonical order-by-order description of the degeneration via f…

Characterizes local tropicalizations of splice type surface singularities.

In this paper, we present a unified study of the moduli space of tropical curves and Outer space which we link via period maps to the moduli space of tropical abelian varieties and the space of positive definite quadratic forms. Our work is a first step towards exhibiting Outer space and the space of positive definite …

Geometric model of unbounded sl3 laminations with tropical coordinates.

We prove two tropical gluing formulae for Gromov-Witten invariants of exploded manifolds, useful for calculating Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold using a normal-crossing degeneration. The first formula generalizes the symplectic-sum formula for Gromov-Witten invariants. The second formula is stronger, …

In this paper we try to look at the compactification of Teichmuller spaces from a tropical viewpoint. We describe a general construction for the compactification of algebraic varieties, using their amoebas, and we describe the boundary via tropical varieties. When we apply this construction to the Teichmuller spaces we…
