Abstract

We present a massively parallel framework for computing tropicalizations of algebraic varieties which can make use of symmetries using the workflow management system GPI-Space and the computer algebra system Singular. We determine the tropical Grassmannian . Our implementation works efficiently on up to 840 cores, computing the 14763 orbits of maximal cones under the canonical -action in about 20 minutes. Relying on our result, we show that the Gröbner structure of refines the 16-dimensional skeleton of the coarsest fan structure of the Dressian , except for 23 orbits of special cones, for which we construct explicit obstructions to the realizability of their tropical linear spaces. Moreover, we propose algorithms for identifying maximal-dimensional cones which belong to positive tropicalizations of algebraic varieties. We compute the positive Grassmannian and compare it to the cluster complex of the classical Grassmannian .
