A Tropical Computation of Refined Toric Invariants

Abstract: In arXiv:1505.04338(4), G. Mikhalkin introduced a refined count for the real rational curves in a toric surface which pass through certain conjugation invariant set of points on the toric boundary of the surface. Such a set consists of real points and pairs of complex conjugated points. He then proved that the result of this refined count depends only on the number of pairs of complex conjugated points on each toric divisor. Using the tropical geometry approach and the correspondence theorem, he managed to compute these invariants if all the points of the configuration are real. In this paper we address the case when the configuration contains some pairs of conjugated points, all belonging to the same component of the toric boundary.
