How to draw tropical planes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The tropical Grassmannian parameterizes tropicalizations of linear spaces, while the Dressian parameterizes all planes in TPn−1. We study these parameter spaces and we compute them explicitly for nleq7. Planes are identified with matroid subdivisions and with arrangements of trees. These representations are used to draw pictures.


A tropical plane is meant to be a two-dimensional tropical linear subspace in the tropical projective space \(TP^{n-1}\). In this paper, the authors present a bijection between tropical planes and arrangements of metric trees. A Dressian \(Dr(d, n)\) is the tropical prevariety defined by all three term Plucker relation. Various combinatorial results about \(Dr(3, n)\) are given. An extension of the notion of Grassmannians and Dressians from the hypersimplex to arbitrary matroid polytope is given.
