Tropical Riemann–Roch conjecture for divisors in moderate position

Let XX be an nn-dimensional compact tropical manifold, and let DD be a tropical submanifold of codimension 11 on XX. Say that DD is in moderate position on XX when it satisfies the paper's definition of moderate position. For each k0k\geq 0, let Dk|D^k| be the support of the kk-th power of DD in XX, and let H(XD;R)H^{\bullet}(X\setminus D;\mathbb{R}) denote the cohomology of the complement.

Moderate-position tropical Riemann–Roch conjecture. If DD is in moderate position on XX, then

RR(X;D)=k=0χ(Dk)=χ(H(XD;R)).\operatorname{RR}(X;D)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\chi(|D^k|)=\chi\bigl(H^{\bullet}(X\setminus D;\mathbb{R})\bigr).

This is the paper's main conjecture, giving a geometric interpretation of the Riemann–Roch number. It is proved for compact tropical surfaces by the paper's main theorem, and in particular holds for compact tropical surfaces admitting a Delzant face structure; the general higher-dimensional case remains open.
