Chern classes of tropical vector bundles

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce tropical vector bundles, morphisms and rational sections of these bundles and define the pull-back of a tropical vector bundle and of a rational section along a morphism. Afterwards we use the bounded rational sections of a tropical vector bundle to define the Chern classes of this bundle and prove some basic properties of Chern classes. Finally we give a complete classification of all vector bundles on an elliptic curve up to isomorphisms.


This paper introduces notions of tropical intersection theory, in particular tropical vector bundles and their Chern classes. It follows the paper [\textit{L. Allermann} and \textit{J. Rau}, Math. Z. 264, No. 3, 633--670 (2010; Zbl 1193.14074)] and can hardly be read without it. After the relevant definitions, some basic properties of vector bundles and Chern classes are proved. The new technique is applied to the situation of vector bundles on a tropical elliptic curve: the author classifies all indecomposable vector bundles. His classification result is in accordance with the analogous result in algebraic geometry.
