Geometry in the tropical limit

Published 15 Aug 2011 in math.AG | (1108.3111v2)

Abstract: Complex algebraic varieties become easy piecewise-linear objects after passing to the so-called tropical limit. Geometry of these limiting objects is known as tropical geometry. In this short survey we take a look at motivation and intuition behind this limit and consider a few simple examples of correspondence principle between classical and tropical geometries.
