Skeletons of stable maps II: superabundant geometries

We implement new techniques involving Artin fans to study the realizability of tropical stable maps in superabundant combinatorial types. Our approach is to understand the skeleton of a fundamental object in logarithmic Gromov–Witten theory—the stack of prestable maps to the Artin fan. This is used...

description We implement new techniques involving Artin fans to study the realizability of tropical stable maps in superabundant combinatorial types. Our approach is to understand the skeleton of a fundamental object in logarithmic Gromov–Witten theory—the stack of prestable maps to the Artin fan. This is used to examine the structure of the locus of realizable tropical curves and derive three principal consequences. First, we prove a realizability theorem for limits of families of tropical stable maps. Second, we extend the sufficiency of Speyer’s well-spacedness condition to the case of curves with good reduction. Finally, we demonstrate the existence of liftable genus 1 superabundant tropical curves that violate the well-spacedness condition.
