Tropical Poincaré bundle, Fourier-Mukai transform, and a generalized Poincaré formula
Soham Ghosh, Farbod Shokrieh
TL;DR
This work develops a tropical analogue of the classical Fourier–Mukai theory for real tori with integral structures by constructing a tropical Poincaré bundle on $X\times\widehat{X}$ and a cohomological tropical Fourier–Mukai transform $F_{E_X}$. The authors prove a generalized tropical Poincaré formula that expresses $F_{E_X}$-images of powers of the first Chern class of nondegenerate line bundles in terms of pushforwards along $\phi_{\mathscr{L}}$, linking tropical intersection theory with tropical Pontryagin products. They establish a tropical analytic Riemann–Roch formula for ample tropical line bundles via determinant data of the polarization and show that $F_{E_X}$ induces a Poincaré duality-type isomorphism between $H^{p,q}(X)$ and $H^{g-q,g-p}(\widehat{X})$, preserving the bigrading. The paper then derives strong consequences, including a tropical geometric Riemann–Roch theorem for tropical abelian varieties and explicit tropical Poincaré–Prym formulas, resolving conjectures in the tropical Prym setting and providing a bridge to non-archimedean degeneration phenomena.
Abstract
We construct a tropical analogue of the Poincaré bundle and prove a (cohomological) Fourier-Mukai transform for real tori with integral structures. We then prove a tropical analogue of Beauville's generalized Poincaré formula for polarized abelian varieties. Some consequences include a geometric Riemann-Roch theorem for tropical abelian varieties, as well as a tropical Poincaré-Prym formula which was recently conjectured by Röhrle and Zakharov.
