Abstract
Abstract The tropical fundamental class of a rational balanced polyhedral fan induces cap products between tropical cohomology and tropical Borel–Moore homology. When all these cap products are isomorphisms, the fan is said to be a tropical Poincaré duality space. If all the stars of faces also are such spaces, such as for fans of matroids, the fan is called a local tropical Poincaré duality space. In this article, we first give some necessary conditions for fans to be tropical Poincaré duality spaces and a classification in dimension one. Next, we prove that tropical Poincaré duality for the stars of all faces of dimension greater than zero and a vanishing condition implies tropical Poincaré duality of the fan. This leads to necessary and sufficient conditions for a fan to be a local tropical Poincaré duality space. Finally, we use such fans to show that certain abstract balanced polyhedral spaces satisfy tropical Poincaré duality.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Geometry is a mathematical journal for the publication of original research articles of excellent quality in the area of geometry. Geometry is a field of long standing-tradition and eminent importance. The study of space and spatial patterns is a major mathematical activity; geometric ideas and geometric language permeate all of mathematics.
