CETNAG — Colombian Encounter of Tropical and Non-archimedean Geometry

Tropical geometry is a piece-wise linear geometry which merges ideas from algebraic, symplectic and non-archimedean geometry with tools from combinatorics and convex geometry. Via the process of tropicalization, classical varieties and geometric problems can be connected to the tropical world and, in some cases, solved there. In non-archimedean geometry, the valuation on the underlying field makes the idea of tropicalization particularly natural and powerful. In recent years, this connection has received much attention and exhibited links to diverse topics such as Hodge theory, mirror symmetry and the study of zeta functions. The main goal of this event is to introduce students and young mathematicians to these exciting topics and to foster and strengthen the connections between local researchers and the international mathematical community.
