Tropical Chow hypersurfaces

Abstract: Given a projective variety

X

of codimension

k + 1

in

m a t h b b P^{n}

the Chow hypersurface

Z_{X}

is the hypersurface of the Grassmannian

o p e r a t o r n a m e G r (k, n)

parametrizing projective linear spaces that intersect

X

. We introduce the tropical Chow hypersurface

o p e r a t o r n a m e T r o p (Z_{X})

. This object only depends on the tropical variety

o p e r a t o r n a m e T r o p (X)

and we provide an explicit way to obtain

o p e r a t o r n a m e T r o p (Z_{X})

from

o p e r a t o r n a m e T r o p (X)

. We also give a geometric description of

o p e r a t o r n a m e T r o p (Z_{X})

. We conjecture that, as in the classical case,

o p e r a t o r n a m e T r o p (X)

can be reconstructed from

o p e r a t o r n a m e T r o p (Z_{X})

and prove it for the case when

X

is a curve in

m a t h b b P^{3}

. This suggests that the tropical Chow hypersurface can be used to construct a tropical Chow variety.
