AbstractThis article discusses the concept of rational equivalence in tropical geometry (and replaces an older, imperfect version). We give the basic definitions in the context of tropical varieties without boundary points and prove some basic properties. We then compute the “bounded” Chow groups of Rn by showing that they are isomorphic to the group of fan cycles. The main step in the proof is of independent interest. We show that every tropical cycle in Rn is a sum of (translated) fan cycles. This also proves that the intersection ring of tropical cycles is generated in codimension 1 (by hypersurfaces).

AbstractWe construct motivic invariants of a subvariety of an algebraic torus from its tropicalization and initial degenerations. More specifically, we introduce an invariant of a compactification of such a variety called the ‘tropical motivic nearby fiber’. This invariant specializes in the schön case to the Hodge–Deligne polynomial of the limit mixed Hodge structure of a corresponding degeneration. We give purely combinatorial expressions for this Hodge–Deligne polynomial in the cases of schön hypersurfaces and matroidal tropical varieties. We also deduce a formula for the Euler characteristic of a general fiber of the degeneration.

Motivated by the study of rationally connected fibrations, we study different notions of birationally simple fibrations. Our main result is the construction of maximal Chow constant and cohomologically constant fibrations. This paper is largely self-contained and we prove a number of basic properties of these fibrations. One application is to the classification of “rationalizations of singularities of cones.” We also consider consequences for the Chow groups of the generic fiber of a Chow constant fibration.

Abstract Assume that we have a fibration of smooth projective varieties X → S over a surface S such that X is of dimension four and that the geometric generic fiber has finite-dimensional motive and the first étale cohomology of the geometric generic fiber with respect to ℚ l coefficients is zero and the second étale cohomology is spanned by divisors. We prove that then A 3(X), the group of codimension three algebraically trivial cycles modulo rational equivalence, is dominated by finitely many copies of A 0(S); this means that there exist finitely many correspondences Γi on S × X such that Σ i Γi is surjective from A 2(S) to A 3(X).

This chapter explains the method initiated by Bloch and Srinivas, which leads to statements of the following: if a smooth projective variety has trivial Chow groups of k-cycles homologous to 0 for k ≤ c − 1, then its transcendental cohomology has geometric coniveau ≤ c. This result is a vast generalization of Mumford's theorem. A major open problem is the converse of this result. It turns out that statements of this kind are a consequence of a general spreading principle for rational equivalence. Consider a smooth projective family X → B and a cycle Z → B, everything defined over C; then, if at the very general point b ∈ B, the restricted cycle Z𝒳b ⊂ X𝒳b is rationally equivalent to 0, there exist a dense Zariski open set U ⊂ B and an integer N such that NZsubscript U is rationally equivalent to 0 on Xsubscript U.

The object of this paper is to present two algebraic results with straightforward proofs, which have interesting consequences in tropical geometry. We start with an identity for polynomials over the max-plus algebra, which shows that any polynomial divides a product of binomials. Interpreted in tropical geometry, any tropical variety W can be completed to a union of tropical primitives, i.e. single-face polyhedral complexes. In certain situations, a tropical variety W has a "reversal" variety, which together with W already yields the union of primitives; this phenomenon is explained in terms of a map defined on the algebraic structure, and yields a duality on tropical hypersurfaces.

International audience We will discuss some recent theorems relating the space of weighted phylogenetic trees to the tropical varieties of each flag variety of type A. We will also discuss the tropicalizations of the functions corresponding to semi-standard tableaux, in particular we relate them to familiar functions from phylogenetics. We close with some remarks on the generalization of these results to the tropical geometry of arbitrary flag varieties. This involves the family of Bergman complexes derived from the hyperplane arrangements associated to simple Dynkin diagrams. Nous allons discuter de quelques théorèmes récents concernant l'espace des arbres phylogénétiques aux variétés Tropicales de chaque variété de drapeaux de type A. Nous allons également discuter des tropicalisations des fonctions correspondant à tableaux semi-standard, en particulier, nous les rapporter à des fonctions familières de la phylogénétique. Nous terminerons avec quelques remarques sur la généralisation de ces résultats à la géométrie tropicale de variétés de drapeaux arbitraires. Il s'agit de la famille de complexes Bergman provenant des arrangements d'hyperplans associés à des diagrammes de Dynkin simples.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of sum of soft topological spaces using pairwise disjoint soft topological spaces and study its basic properties. Then, we define additive and finitely additive properties which are considered a link between soft topological spaces and their sum. In this regard, we show that the properties of being p-soft T i , soft paracompactness, soft extremally disconnectedness, and soft continuity are additive. We provide some examples to elucidate that soft compactness and soft separability are finitely additive; however, soft hyperconnected, soft indiscrete, and door soft spaces are not finitely additive. In addition, we prove that soft interior, soft closure, soft limit, and soft boundary points are interchangeable between soft topological spaces and their sum. This helps to obtain some results related to some important generalized soft open sets. Finally, we observe under which conditions a soft topological space represents the sum of some soft topological spaces.

We introduce and study a special class of ideals, called tropical ideals, in the semiring of tropical polynomials, with the goal of developing a useful and solid algebraic foundation for tropical geometry. The class of tropical ideals strictly includes the tropicalizations of classical ideals, and allows us to define subschemes of tropical toric varieties, generalizing Giansiracusa and Giansiracusa [Equations of tropical varieties, Duke Math. J. 165 (2016), 3379–3433]. We investigate some of the basic structure of tropical ideals, and show that they satisfy many desirable properties that mimic the classical setup. In particular, every tropical ideal has an associated variety, which we prove is always a finite polyhedral complex. In addition we show that tropical ideals satisfy the ascending chain condition, even though they are typically not finitely generated, and also the weak Nullstellensatz.

AbstractWe study a cylindrical Lagrangian cobordism group for Lagrangian torus fibres in symplectic manifolds which are the total spaces of smooth Lagrangian torus fibrations. We use ideas from family Floer theory and tropical geometry to obtain both obstructions to and constructions of cobordisms; in particular, we give examples of symplectic tori in which the cobordism group has no non-trivial cobordism relations between pairwise distinct fibres, and ones in which the degree zero fibre cobordism group is a divisible group. The results are independent of but motivated by mirror symmetry, and a relation to rational equivalence of 0-cycles on the mirror rigid analytic space.

AbstractWe introduce a novel intrinsic volume concept in tropical geometry. This is achieved by developing the foundations of a tropical analog of lattice point counting in polytopes. We exhibit the basic properties and compare it to existing measures. Our exposition is complemented by a brief study of arising complexity questions.
