First Steps in Tropical Intersection Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a tropical intersection theory of cycles, Cartier divisors, and intersection products between cycles and cycles is established, without passing to rational equivalence, and the push-forward and pull-back of this theory is discussed.

On the tropical Torelli map

TL;DR: In this paper, the moduli spaces of tropical curves and tropical principally polarized abelian varieties are constructed in the category of stacky fans, and the tropical Torelli map between these two modulus spaces is defined.

Log-concavity of characteristic polynomials and the Bergman fan of matroids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proved the log-concavity of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matroid realizable over a field of characteristic 0, answering a long-standing conjecture of Read in graph theory.

A guide to tropicalizations

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of toric schemes over valuation rings of rank 1 was developed for algebraic and convex problems, where the toric co-ordinates are well suited to the convex problem, and it is sometimes possible to use a solution of a convex solution to solve the original algebraic problem.

Lifting Tropical Intersections

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that points in the intersection of the tropicaliza-tions of subvarieties of a torus lift to algebraic intersection points with expected multiplicities, provided that the tropicalizations intersect in the expected dimension.

Geometric Invariant Theory

David Mumford
TL;DR: Geometric invariant theory for moduli spaces has been studied extensively in the mathematical community as mentioned in this paper, with a large number of applications to the moduli space construction problem, see, for instance, the work of Mumford and Fogarty.

Discriminants, Resultants, and Multidimensional Determinants

TL;DR: The Cayley method of studying discriminants was used by Cayley as discussed by the authors to study the Cayley Method of Discriminants and Resultants for Polynomials in One Variable and for forms in Several Variables.

Rational Curves on Algebraic Varieties

TL;DR: It is shown here how the model derived recently in [Bouchut-Boyaval, M3AS (23) 2013] can be modified for flows on rugous topographies varying around an inclined plane.

Solving systems of polynomial equations

TL;DR: Polynomials in one variable Grobner bases of zero-dimensional ideals Bernstein's theorem and fewnomials as mentioned in this paper are the primary decomposition of polynomial systems in economics and statistics.
