The tropical n -gonal construction
Felix Röhrle, Dmitry Zakharov
Source abstract
We give a purely tropical analogue of Donagi’s n -gonal construction and investigate its combinatorial properties. The input of the construction is a harmonic double cover of an n -gonal tropical curve. For n = 2 and a dilated double cover, the output is a tower of the same type, and we show that the Prym varieties of the two double covers are dual tropical abelian varieties. For n = 3 and a free double cover, the output is a tetragonal tropical curve with dilation profile nowhere ( 2 , 2 ) or ( 4 ) , and we show that the construction can be reversed. Furthermore, the Prym variety of the double cover and the Jacobian of the tetragonal curve are isomorphic as principally polarized tropical abelian varieties. Our main tool is tropical homology theory, and our proofs closely follow the algebraic versions.
