Let V H ðC Þ be a variety and let Log denote the logarithmic moment map Log : ðC Þ ! R, ðz1; . . . ; znÞ 7! ðlogjz1j; . . . ; logjznjÞ. The amoeba A of the variety V H ðC Þ is its image under that map. Amoebas were introduced by Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky in [6]. They show that for varieties of codimension 1, the complement A of the amoeba A in R is a disjoint union of convex regions. If ...
