We will present a number of different ways of introducing tropical “numerator functions” that allow us to describe general Lagrangian interactions. The simplest family of these “tropical numerators” computes the amplitudes of interesting Lagrangians with infinitely many interactions. We also describe methods for tropically formulating the amplitudes for general Lagrangians.

We first claim that in most examples known, such theories are <i>multifield</i>, with at least 2 non-compact field directions; the few counter-examples appear to be very specific and isolated. Such a systematic multifield situation has important implications for cosmology. Characterising properties of the scalar potential <i>V</i> is also more delicate in a multifield setting. We provide several examples of string effective theories with <i>V</i> > 0, where the latter admits an asymptotically flat direction along an off-shell field trajectory: in other words, there exists a limit <span>(widehat{varphi }to infty )</span> for which <span>(frac{left|{partial }_{widehat{varphi }}Vright|}{V}to 0)</span>. It is thus meaningless to look for a lower bound to this single field quantity in a multifield setting; the complete gradient ∇<i>V</i> is then better suited.
