Abstract

A tropical variety is a weighted polyhedral complex whose maximal dimensional cells are pure dimensional, rational, connected, and balanced weighted around every vertex. It is known that every irreducible algebraic variety can be tropicalized, that is, there is a way one can derive a tropical variety from an algebraic one. However, there exist tropical varieties that are not the tropicalization of algebraic varieties. The goal of this work is to answer whether a given tropical curve (a 1−dimensional tropical variety) in R[real number]³ is the tropicalization of an algebraic curve in R[real numbers]³.
