Abstract: In this paper we propose a general functorial definition of the operation of emph{local tropicalization} in commutative algebra. Let R be a commutative ring, Gamma a finitely generated subsemigroup of a lattice, gamma:GammaightarrowR/R a morphism of semigroups, and V(R) the topological space of valuations on R taking values in Rcupinfty. Then we may emph{tropicalize} with respect to gamma any subset W of the space of valuations V(R). By definition, we get a subset of a rational polyhedral cone canonically associated to Gamma, enriched with strata at infinity. In particular, when R is a local ring, gamma is a emph{local} morphism of semigroups, and W is the space of valuations which are either positive or non-negative on R, we call these processes emph{local tropicalizations}. They depend only on the ambient toroidal structure, which in turn allows to define tropicalizations of subvarieties of toroidal embeddings. We prove that with suitable hypothesis, these local tropicalizations are the supports of finite rational polyhedral fans enriched with strata at infinity and we compare the global and local tropicalizations of a subvariety of a toric variety.
