Abstract: We give a complete description of the cohomology ring A∗(overlineZ) of a compactification of a linear subvariety Z of a torus in a smooth toric variety whose fan Sigma is supported on the tropicalization of Z. It turns out that cocycles on overlineZ canonically correspond to Minkowski weights on Sigma and that the cup product is described by the intersection product on the tropical matroid variety operatornameTrop(Z).


Let \(T\) be a torus over an algebraically closed field with trivial valuation, and let \(Z \subseteq T\) be a closed subvariety defined by linear equations. The variety \(Z\) can be compactified by taking the closure \(\overline{Z}\) in a smooth toric variety of \(T\) whose fan \(\Sigma\) has the support equal to the tropicalization of \(Z\). The author proves that there is a graded ring isomorphism from the operational Chow cohomology ring \[ A^*(\overline{Z}) \to M^*(\Sigma), \] where \(M^*(\Sigma)\) is the group of Minkowski weights on \(\Sigma\) equipped with the intersection product described by \textit{G. François} and \textit{J. Rau} [Collect. Math. 64, No. 2, 185--210 (2013; Zbl 1312.14144)] and \textit{K. M. Shaw} [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 27, No. 1, 459--491 (2013; Zbl 1314.14113). This work can be viewed as a tropical generalization of the theorem of \textit{E. M. Feichtner} and \textit{S. Yuzvinsky} [Invent. Math. 155, No. 3, 515--536 (2004; Zbl 1083.14059)] which identifies the cohomology ring of a wonderful compactification of a hyperplane arrangement complement with the Chow ring of the smooth toric variety associated to a building set.
