Tropical secant graphs of monomial curves

Abstract
English
We construct and study an embedded weighted balanced graph in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ parametrized by a strictly increasing sequence of $n$ coprime numbers $\{ i_1, \ldots, i_n\}$, called the $\textit{tropical secant surface graph}$. We identify it with the tropicalization of a surface in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ parametrized by binomials. Using this graph, we construct the tropicalization of the first secant variety of a monomial projective curve with exponent vector $(0, i_1, \ldots, i_n)$, which can be described by a balanced graph called the $\textit{tropical secant graph}$. The combinatorics involved in computing the degree of this classical secant variety is non-trivial. One earlier approach to this is due to K. Ranestad. Using techniques from tropical geometry, we give algorithms to effectively compute this degree (as well as its multidegree) and the Newton polytope of the first secant variety of any given monomial curve in $\mathbb{P}^4$.

On construit et on étude un graphe plongé dans $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ paramétrisé par une suite strictement croissante de $n$ nombres entiers $\{ i_1, \ldots, i_n\}$, premiers entre eux. Ce graphe s'appelle $\textit{graphe tropical surface sécante}$. On montre que ce graphe est la tropicalisation d'une surface dans $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ paramétrisé par des binômes. On utilise ce graphe pour construire la tropicalisation de la première sécante d'une courbe monomiale ayant comme vecteur d'exponents $(0, i_1, \ldots, i_n)$. On représente cette variété tropicale pour un graphe balancé (le $\textit{graphe tropical sécante}$). La combinatoire qu'on utilise pour le calcul du degré de ces variétés sécantes classiques n'est pas triviale, et a été developpée par K. Ranestad. En utilisant des techniques de la géométrie tropicale, on donne des algorithmes qui calculent le degré (même le multidegré) et le polytope de Newton de la première sécante d'une courbe monomiale de $\mathbb{P}^4$.
