Relative tropical Riemann–Roch conjecture for a pair of divisors

Let XX be a compact nn-dimensional tropical manifold. Let DD and DD' be tropical submanifolds of codimension 11 on XX, or empty. Assume that DD' is in moderate position on XX, that the restriction DDD'|_D is a tropical submanifold of DD with support DDD'\cap D, and that DDD'\cap D is in moderate position on DD. For k0k\geq 0, let Dk|D'^k| be the support of the kk-th power of DD' in XX, and let (DD)k|(D'|_D)^k| be the corresponding support on DD. Let H(XD,DD;R)H^{\bullet}(X\setminus D',D\setminus D';\mathbb{R}) denote the relative cohomology of the pair.

Relative tropical Riemann–Roch conjecture.

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

and this equals

χ(XD)χ(D(DD)).\chi(X\setminus D')-\chi\bigl(D\setminus(D'\cap D)\bigr).

This extends the conjectures for effective and anti-effective divisors by incorporating a divisor difference and relative cohomology. The source does not provide a resolution in general, so the higher-dimensional and unrestricted cases remain open.
