TGiZ-Seminar: Tropical geometry in Zoom (First meeting Winter Semester 2022/23)

Andrés Jaramillo Puentes (Universität Duisburg-Essen)

Abstract:
Tropical geometry has been proven to be a powerful computational tool in enumerative geometry over the complex and real numbers. Results from motivic homotopy theory allow to study questions in enumerative geometry over an arbitrary field k. In these two talks we present one of the first examples of how to use tropical geometry for questions in enuemrative geometry over k, namely a proof of the quadratically enriched Bézout’s theorem for tropical curves.

In the second talk we define the quadratically enriched multiplicity at an intersection point of two tropical curves and show that it can be computed combinatorially. We will use this new approach to prove an enriched version of the Bézout theorem and of the Bernstein–Kushnirenko theorem, both for enriched tropical curves.
