A <strong>Tropical</strong> Hypersurface<br />

point vi ∈ T d−1 = apex of unique max-tropical hyperplane<br />

H max (vi)<br />

homogeneous linear form hi ∈ C{{z}}[x1, xx, . . .,xd];<br />

h := h1 · h2 · · ·hn<br />

Proposition<br />

The tropical hypersurface defined by trop max (h) is the union of<br />

the max-tropical hyperplanes in A.<br />

Corollary<br />

Let p ∈ T d−1 \ A be a generic point. Then its coarse type tA(p)<br />

equals the exponent of the monomial in h which defines the unique<br />

facet of P(trop max (h)) above p.
