Abstract: For any curve $mathcalV$ in a toric surface $X$, we study the critical locus $S(mathcalV)$ of the moment map $mu$ from $mathcalV$ to its compactified amoeba $mu(mathcalV)$. We show that for curves $mathcalV$ in a fixed complete linear system, the critical locus $S(mathcalV)$ is smooth apart from some real codimension $1$ walls. We then investigate the topological classification of pairs $(mathcalV,S(mathcalV))$ when $mathcalV$ and $S(mathcalV)$ are smooth. As a main tool, we use the Lyashko-Looijenga mapping ($mathcalLL$) relative to the logarithmic Gauss map $gamma:mathcalVightarrowmathbbC{P}^1$. We prove two statements concerning $mathcalLL$ that are crucial for our study: the map $mathcalLL$ is algebraic; the map $mathcalLL$ extends to nodal curves. It allows us to construct many examples of pairs $(mathcalV,S(mathcalV))$ by perturbing nodal curves.
