Cancellative elements in bend quotients of tropical principal prime ideals
Cancellative elements in bend quotients of tropical principal prime ideals
Let be a field with valuation , where is a sub-semifield of , and let be a toric monoid. Let be a principal prime ideal containing neither a monomial nor a binomial, and set
Cancellative-elements conjecture. An element of is cancellative if and only if it is the image of a term of .
This gives a concrete description of cancellative elements in the tropical coordinate semirings used to compute total semirings of fractions. The examples motivate the claim, but no proof or resolution is supplied here.
