Tropical varieties are piecewise-linear objects in Euclidean space. The link between the classical complex geometry and the tropical geometry is provided by amoebas or logarithmic images of complex varieties. Tropical varieties appear as certain degenerations of amoebas. The workshop brought together researchers in such diverse areas as real algebraic geometry, mirror symmetry, control theory, mathematical physics, analysis of several variables, and dynamics. Amoebas, tropical geometry and the degeneration which relates them appeared in some form in all of these areas.
The collection was compiled by Thorsten Theobald.
