Quadratically enriched tropical intersections

From MaRDI portal





Tropical geometry has many applications to enumerative geometry, often giving simpler proofs of classical results. These classical results have generally been enumerative theorems over algebraically closed or real closed fields. Over arbitrary fields, the enriched enumerative geometry program allows one to prove meaningful enumerative theorems by counting with quadratic forms rather than integers. Since the advent of enriched enumerative geometry nearly a decade ago, it has been desireable to import tropical techniques to the subject. This was first done by [\textit{H. Markwig} et al. [Res. Math. Sci. 10, No. 2, Paper No. 21, 54 p. (2023; Zbl 1523.14088)].\N\NIn the article under review, the authors make a significant improvement to tropical techniques for enriched enumerative theorems. Their key insight is the definition of an \textit{enriched tropical variety}, where each component of the complement of a tropical variety is assigned a square class in the base field. This generalizes the analogous notion for real tropical varieties, where complementary cells are weighted by \(\pm 1\).\N\NThe authors show how to apply these techniques by giving a simpler proof of the enriched Bézout's theorem [\textit{S. McKean}, Math. Ann. 379, No. 1--2, 633--660 (2021; Zbl 1467.14126)] and a few other related results.
