Basic Notions Seminar on Tropical Geometry

ICTP Mathematics via YouTube

Overview

Explore the fundamental concepts of Tropical Geometry in this introductory seminar presented by Lothar Goettshe from ICTP. Discover how this field serves as the combinatorial shadow of algebraic geometry, replacing algebraic varieties with combinatorial objects. Delve into the fascinating world of plane tropical curves, represented as piecewise linear graphs on the real plane, and learn about their applications in enumerative geometry. Gain insights into how the combinatorial properties of these objects reflect the geometric properties of algebraic varieties. This 69-minute seminar offers an elementary approach to understanding Tropical Geometry, making it accessible to those new to the subject while providing valuable information for more advanced learners.
