Download and read online ebook Nonarchimedean and Tropical Geometry write by Matthew Baker. This book was released on 2016-08-18. Nonarchimedean and Tropical Geometry available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This volume grew out of two Simons Symposia on "Nonarchimedean and tropical geometry" which took place on the island of St. John in April 2013 and in Puerto Rico in February 2015. Each meeting gathered a small group of experts working near the interface between tropical geometry and nonarchimedean analytic spaces for a series of inspiring and provocative lectures on cutting edge research, interspersed with lively discussions and collaborative work in small groups. The articles collected here, which include high-level surveys as well as original research, mirror the main themes of the two Symposia. Topics covered in this volume include: Differential forms and currents, and solutions of Monge-Ampere type differential equations on Berkovich spaces and their skeletons; The homotopy types of nonarchimedean analytifications; The existence of "faithful tropicalizations" which encode the topology and geometry of analytifications; Relations between nonarchimedean analytic spaces and algebraic geometry, including logarithmic schemes, birational geometry, and the geometry of algebraic curves; Extended notions of tropical varieties which relate to Huber's theory of adic spaces analogously to the way that usual tropical varieties relate to Berkovich spaces; and Relations between nonarchimedean geometry and combinatorics, including deep and fascinating connections between matroid theory, tropical geometry, and Hodge theory.

Tropical and Non-Archimedean Geometry available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Over the past decade, it has become apparent that tropical geometry and non-Archimedean geometry should be studied in tandem; each subject has a great deal to say about the other. This volume is a collection of articles dedicated to one or both of these disciplines. Some of the articles are based, at least in part, on the authors' lectures at the 2011 Bellairs Workshop in Number Theory, held from May 6-13, 2011, at the Bellairs Research Institute, Holetown, Barbados. Lecture topics covered in this volume include polyhedral structures on tropical varieties, the structure theory of non-Archimedean curves (algebraic, analytic, tropical, and formal), uniformisation theory for non-Archimedean curves and abelian varieties, and applications to Diophantine geometry. Additional articles selected for inclusion in this volume represent other facets of current research and illuminate connections between tropical geometry, non-Archimedean geometry, toric geometry, algebraic graph theory, and algorithmic aspects of systems of polynomial equations.

Tropical and Non-Archimedean Curves available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Tropical geometry is young field of mathematics that connects algebraic geometry and combinatorics. It considers "combinatorial shadows" of classical algebraic objects, which preserve information while being more susceptible to discrete methods. Tropical geometry has proven useful in such subjects as polynomial implicitization, scheduling problems, and phylogenetics. Of particular interesest in this work is the application of tropical geometry to study curves (and other varieties) over non-Archimedean fields, which can be tropicalized to tropical curves (and other tropical varieties). Chapter 1 presents background material on tropical geometry, and presents two perspectives on tropical curves: the embedded perspective, which treats them as balanced polyhedral complexes in Euclidean space, and the abstract perspective, which treats them as metric graphs. This chapter also presents the background on curves over non-Archimedean fields necessary for the rest of this work, including the moduli space of curves of a given genus and the Berkovich analytic space associated to a curve. Chapters 2 and 3 study tropical curves embedded in the plane. Chapter 2 deals with tropical plane curves that intersect non-transversely, and opens with a result on which configurations of points in such an intersection can be lifted to intersection points of classical curves. It then moves on to present a joint work with Matthew Baker, Yoav Len, Nathan Pflueger, and Qingchun Ren that builds up a theory of bitangents of smooth tropical plane quartic curves in parallel to the classical theory. Chapter 3 presents joint work with Sarah Brodsky, Michael Joswig, and Bernd Sturmfels, and is a study of which metric graphs arise as skeletons of smooth tropical plane curves. We begin by defining the moduli space of tropical plane curves, which is the tropical analog of Castryck and Voight's space of nondegenerate curves in [CV09]. The first main theorem is that our space is full-dimensional inside of the tropicalization of the corresponding classical space, a result proved using honeycomb curves. The chapter proceeds to a computational study of the moduli space of tropical plane curves, and explicitly computes the spaces for genus up to 5. The chapter closes with both theoretical and computational results on tropical hyperelliptic curves that can be embedded in the plane. Chapter 4 presents joint work with Qingchun Ren and is an algorithmic treatment of a special family of curves over a non-Archimedean field called Mumford curves. These are of particular interest in tropical geometry, as they are the curves whose tropicalizations can have genus-many cycles. We build up a family of algorithms, implemented in sage [S+13], for computing many objects associated to such a curve over the field of p-adic numbers, including its Jacobian, its Berkovich skeleton, and points in its canonical embedding. Chapter 5 is joint work with Ngoc Tran, and is a departure from studying tropical curves. It considers what it means for matrix multiplication to commute tropically, both in the context of tropical linear algebra and by considering the tropicalization of the classical commuting variety, whose points are pairs of commuting matrices. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for small matrices to commute, and illustrate three different tropical spaces, each of which has some claim to being "the" space of tropical commuting matrices.

Download and read online ebook Tropical Algebraic Geometry write by Ilia Itenberg. This book was released on 2009-05-30. Tropical Algebraic Geometry available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. These notes present a polished introduction to tropical geometry and contain some applications of this rapidly developing and attractive subject. It consists of three chapters which complete each other and give a possibility for non-specialists to make the first steps in the subject which is not yet well represented in the literature. The notes are based on a seminar at the Mathematical Research Center in Oberwolfach in October 2004. The intended audience is graduate, post-graduate, and Ph.D. students as well as established researchers in mathematics.

Homological Mirror Symmetry and Tropical Geometry available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The relationship between Tropical Geometry and Mirror Symmetry goes back to the work of Kontsevich and Y. Soibelman (2000), who applied methods of non-archimedean geometry (in particular, tropical curves) to Homological Mirror Symmetry. In combination with the subsequent work of Mikhalkin on the “tropical” approach to Gromov-Witten theory and the work of Gross and Siebert, Tropical Geometry has now become a powerful tool. Homological Mirror Symmetry is the area of mathematics concentrated around several categorical equivalences connecting symplectic and holomorphic (or algebraic) geometry. The central ideas first appeared in the work of Maxim Kontsevich (1993). Roughly speaking, the subject can be approached in two ways: either one uses Lagrangian torus fibrations of Calabi-Yau manifolds (the so-called Strominger-Yau-Zaslow picture, further developed by Kontsevich and Soibelman) or one uses Lefschetz fibrations of symplectic manifolds (suggested by Kontsevich and further developed by Seidel). Tropical Geometry studies piecewise-linear objects which appear as “degenerations” of the corresponding algebro-geometric objects.
