Geometry of tropical extensions of hyperfields
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We study the geometry of tropical extensions of hyperfields, including the ordinary, signed, and complex tropical hyperfields. We introduce the framework of ‘enriched valuations’ as hyperfield homomorphisms to tropical extensions and show that a notable family of them are relatively algebraically closed. Our main results are hyperfield analogues of Kapranov’s theorem and the Fundamental theorem of tropical geometry. Utilizing these theorems, we introduce fine tropical varieties and prove a structure theorem for them in terms of their initial ideals.
