We provide explicit combinatorial descriptions of tropicalizations of the moment and pseudomoment cones, and demonstrate their usefulness in distinguishing between nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares. We give examples that show new limitations of sums of squares approximations of nonnegative polynomials. When the semialgebraic set is defined by binomial inequalites, its moment and pseudomoment cones are closed under Hadamard product. In this case, their tropicalizations are polyhedral cones that encode all binomial inequalities on the moment and pseudomoment cones.</p>","PeriodicalId":49989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the London Mathematical Society-Second Series","volume":"112 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://londmathsoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1112/jlms.70311","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first describe the scaling limit of the number of faces along the geodesics. This result enables us to compare the metric balls for the first-passage percolation and the dual-graph distance. It also enables us to give an upper bound for the diameter of large random maps. Then, we describe the scaling limit of the tree of first-passage percolation geodesics to the root via a stochastic coalescing flow of pure jump diffusions. Using this stochastic flow, we also construct some random metric spaces which we conjecture to be the scaling limits of random planar maps with high degrees. The main tool in this work is a time reversal of the uniform peeling exploration.</p>","PeriodicalId":49989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the London Mathematical Society-Second Series","volume":"112 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We give a characterization for unimodal maps that does not depend on the smoothness of the map, and implies the previous result. We also show that for multimodal maps, the previous characterization does not hold. In the space of real polynomials of a given degree which is bigger than two, with all critical points being real, and having fixed multiplicities (that is known to be a smooth real manifold), there are real-analytic subvariety of codimention 1 such that every map of this subvariety has the same Artin–Mazur zeta function, which is a rational function. Moreover, all but one critical points of this family undergo independent bifurcations.</p>","PeriodicalId":49989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the London Mathematical Society-Second Series","volume":"112 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
