Combinatorics of the tropical Torelli map

Abstract:
The Torelli map, taking an algebraic curve to its Jacobian, has a tropical analogue, developed in recent work by Brannetti, Melo, and Viviani. I will discuss the tropical Torelli map, with a focus on combinatorics and computations in low genus. Metric graphs, positive semidefinite forms, and regular matroids all play a role.
