Kouchnirenko's theorem for non-generic polynomials

In Polyèdres de Newton et nombres de Milnor (Theorem 1.18), Kouchnirenko proved that given Laurent polynomials $f_1, \dotsc, f_k$ in $k$ variables, the number of isolated solutions is less than or ...

Amoeba for a K3 surface in $\mathbb {CP}^3$

Let $X=X_\Delta$ be the toric variety associated to a reflexive polyhedron $\Delta$. Consider a Calabi-Yau hypersurface $Y\subset X$, and the image of $Y$ under the moment map $\mu:X\to \Delta$ has ...

Local toric varieties and tropicalization

Let $K$ be a valued field, and consider the ring $R=K((x_1,\dots,x_m))$ of formal Laurent series. This is "the germ of the torus at $0$". Is there a theory of "local toric varieties" where $R$ ...

Is there any structure theorem for piecewise linear functions?

I was wondering if such statements are known like "any piecewise linear function from $\mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ can be written as $\sum_{i=1}^k \alpha_i (\text{ some $2$ piece linear ...

How to recover toric invariants tropically?

My excuses in advance in case my question is too vague (which is mainly due to the fact that I'm not really familiar with tropical/toric geometry, but at least I still believe that the content of the ...

Intersection of curves on projective toric surface and some enumerative questions

Reading on the tropical approach to enumerative geometry I have come across the claim: given a projective toric surface from a polygon P, we can consider a tautological bundle of algebraic / ...
