A Field of Generalised Puiseux Series for Tropical Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we define a field K of characteristic zero with valuation whose value group is (R,+), and we show that this field of generalised Puiseux series is algebraically closed and complete with respect to the norm induced by its valuation. We consider this field to be a good candidate for the base field for tropical geometry.

An Algorithm for Lifting Points in a Tropical Variety
The aim of this paper is to give a constructive proof of one of the basic theorems of tropical geometry: given a point on a tropical variety (defined using initial ideals), there exists a Puiseux-valued “lift” of this point in the algebraic variety. This theorem is so fundamental because it justifies why a tropical variety (defined combinatorially using initial ideals) carries information about...

What is tropical geometry about? Back in 2005 an influential paper by Richter-Gebert, Sturmfels and Theobald [11] answered that question in the following way: “Tropical algebraic geometry is the geometry of the tropical semiring (R,min,+). Its objects are polyhedral cell complexes which behave like complex algebraic varieties.” Let us look at plane algebraic curves and their tropicalizations to...
متن کاملTHE j-INVARIANT OF A PLANE TROPICAL CUBIC
Several results in tropical geometry have related the j-invariant of an algebraic plane curve of genus one to the cycle length of a tropical curve of genus one. In this paper, we prove that for a plane cubic over the field of Puiseux series the negative of the generic valuation of the j-invariant is equal to the cycle length of the tropicalization of the curve, if there is a cycle at all.
متن کاملApplication of discrete geometry to the construction of Laurent-rational zeros
We consider zeros of polynomials whose coefficients lie in the field C((t)) of formal Laurent series with complex coefficients. The algebraic closure of C((t)) is the field K of “Puiseux series,” which allow fractional exponents. There is a well-known algorithm, described in [9], for constructing roots in K to a one-variable polynomial over C((t)). Several papers give generalizations of this al...
