A Tropical Intersection Product in Matroidal Fans

نویسنده

  • Kristin M. Shaw
چکیده

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 restriction in matroid theory and tropical modifications as defined by Mikhalkin in [14]. This product generalises the product of Allermann and Rau [2], and Allermann [1] and also provides an alternative procedure for intersecting cycles which is not based on intersecting with Cartier divisors. Also, we simplify the definition in the case of one dimensional fan cycles in two dimensional matroidal fans and given an application of the intersection product to realisability questions in tropical geometry.

Tropical Fans and the Moduli Spaces of Tropical Curves

We give a rigorous definition of tropical fans (the “local building blocks for tropical varieties”) and their morphisms. For a morphism of tropical fans of the same dimension we show that the number of inverse images (counted with suitable tropical multiplicities) of a point in the target does not depend on the chosen point — a statement that can be viewed as one of the important first steps of...

Tropical Intersection Theory from Toric Varieties

We apply ideas from intersection theory on toric varieties to tropical intersection theory. We introduce mixed Minkowski weights on toric varieties which interpolate between equivariant and ordinary Chow cohomology classes on complete toric varieties. These objects fit into the framework of tropical intersection theory developed by Allermann and Rau. Standard facts about intersection theory on ...

The Intersection of a Matroid and a Simplicial Complex

A classical theorem of Edmonds provides a min-max formula relating the maximal size of a set in the intersection of two matroids to a “covering” parameter. We generalize this theorem, replacing one of the matroids by a general simplicial complex. One application is a solution of the case r = 3 of a matroidal version of Ryser’s conjecture. Another is an upper bound on the minimal number of sets ...

The Diagonal of Tropical Matroid Varieties and Cycle Intersections

We define an intersection product of tropical cycles on matroid varieties (via cutting out the diagonal) and show that it is well-behaved. In particular, this enables us to intersect cycles on moduli spaces of tropical rational marked curves Mn and Mlab n (∆,Rr). This intersection product can be extended to smooth varieties (whose local models are matroid varieties). We also study pull-backs of...

Cocycles on Tropical Varieties via Piecewise Polynomials

We use piecewise polynomials to define tropical cocycles generalising the well-known notion of Cartier divisors to higher codimensions. We also introduce an intersection product of cocycles with tropical cycles and prove that this gives rise to a Poincaré duality in some cases.
