The Topology of Moduli Spaces of Tropical Curves with Marked Points
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study the topology of moduli spaces of tropical curves of genus g with n marked points. We view the moduli spaces as being embedded in a larger space, which we call the moduli space of metric graphs with n marked points. We describe the shrinking bridges strong deformation retraction, which leads to a substantial simplification of all these moduli spaces. In the rest of the paper, this reduction is used to analyze the case of genus 1. The corresponding moduli space is presented as a quotient space of a torus with respect to the conjugation Z2-action; and furthermore, as a homotopy colimit over a simple diagram. The latter allows us to compute all Betti numbers of this moduli space with coefficients in Z2.

متن کاملModuli Spaces of Tropical Curves of Higher Genus with Marked Points and Homotopy Colimits
The main characters of this paper are the moduli spaces TMg,n of rational tropical curves of genus g with n marked points, with g ≥ 2. We reduce the study of the homotopy type of these spaces to the analysis of compact spaces Xg,n, which in turn possess natural representations as a homotopy colimits of diagrams of topological spaces over combinatorially defined generalized simplicial complexes ...
متن کاملThe Tropicalization of the Moduli Space of Curves Ii: Topology and Applications
We study the topology of the tropical moduli space parametrizing stable tropical curves of genus g with n marked points in which the bounded edges have total length 1, and prove that it is highly connected. Using the identification of this space with the dual complex of the boundary in the moduli space of stable algebraic curves, we give a simple expression for the top weight cohomology of M1,n...
متن کاملIrreducible Cycles and Points in Special Position in Moduli Spaces for Tropical Curves
In the first part of this paper, we discuss the notion of irreducibility of cycles in the moduli spaces of n-marked rational tropical curves. We prove that Psiclasses and vital divisors are irreducible, and that locally irreducible divisors are also globally irreducible for n 6 6. In the second part of the paper, we show that the locus of point configurations in (R2)n in special position for co...
متن کاملTropical Orbit Spaces and the Moduli Spaces of Elliptic Tropical Curves
We give a definition of tropical orbit spaces and their morphisms. We show that, under certain conditions, the weighted number of preimages of a point in the target of such a morphism does not depend on the choice of this point. We equip the moduli spaces of elliptic tropical curves with a structure of tropical orbit space and, using our results on tropical orbit spaces, simplify the known proo...
