Integral points on "complex exponential surface" in $\mathbb{C}^3$
I encountered the following object in $\mathbb{C}^3$ defined for $m\in\mathbb{N}$ by
$$A_m:=\lbrace (z_1,z_2,z_3)\in\mathbb{C}^3|(2^{2z_3}m-1)2^{2z_1+z_2+1}+3^{z_2-1}(2^{2z_1}-2^2-3^{z_3+1}m)=0\rbrace$...

Motivational distinctions between max and min conventions in tropical geometry
I am aware that algebraically, there is no real distinction between the tropical semirings
$A = (\mathbb{R} \cup \{ \infty \}, \text{min}, \infty, +, 0)$
$B = (\mathbb{R} \cup \{ - \infty \}, \text{...

Proving equivalence of tropical polynomials
I am new to the world of tropical mathematics. I am wondering if there is an algorithm to prove the equivalence of two tropical polynomials (in the plus-min semiring let's say), say over multivaribles?...

Does the tropical semiring admit a universal property?
Each of the rings $\mathbf{Q}$, $\mathbf{Z}_p$, $\mathbf{Q}_p$, $\mathbf{R}$ admits a universal construction: the rationals are the field of fractions of the integers: $\mathbf{Q}:=\mathrm{Frac}(\...

Is there any "fundamental" distinction between min-plus, max-plus, min-product, and max-product algebras?
In the paper Faster Algorithms for Max-Product Message Passing by McAuley and Caetano (see e.g. here or here), several statements are made which seem mathematically questionable to me.
For ...

Generators for Ideals in ring of multivariate Laurent Polynomials
Consider the following problem:
Find an ideal $I \subset \mathbb{Q}[x^{\pm}_1,x^{\pm}_2,x^{\pm}_3]$ such that $I_{aff} \subset \mathbb{Q}[x_1, x_2, x_3] = I \cap k[x_1, x_2, x_3]$ requires more ...

Notion of transversality over the field of Puiseux series.
To a given a Laurent polynomial $f$ over the field of Puiseux seris with parameter $t$, $f \in \mathbb{C} \lbrace\lbrace t \rbrace\rbrace[z_1^{\pm1},...,z_n^{\pm 1}]$, one can associate the ...

Algorithms for "Ideals" in polynomial algebras over the max-plus semi-ring
I'm a beginner in tropical geometry, and I'm running into the following question:
In the usual polynomial ring over a field, one has algorithms (i.e. using a Groebner basis) for determining whether ...

Bases of Ideals With no Monomials
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field and $K[\underline{x}]$ its ring of polynomials in $n$ variables $x_1,\cdots, x_n$. Let $J\leq K[\underline{x}]$ be an ideal such that there are no monomials in ...
