Toric degenerations of toric varieties and tropical curves

Takeo Nishinou, Bernd Siebert

Open publisher page 234 citations

Abstract

We show that the counting of rational curves on a complete toric variety which are in general position relative to the toric prime divisors coincides with the counting of certain tropical curves. The proof is algebraic-geometric and relies on degeneration techniques and log deformation theory
