description

Abstract We show how to deform the map Log : ( C ⁎ ) n → R n such that the image of the complex pair of pants P ∘ ⊂ ( C ⁎ ) n is the tropical hyperplane by showing an (ambient) isotopy between P ∘ ⊂ ( C ⁎ ) n and a natural polyhedral subcomplex of the product of the two skeleta S × Σ ⊂ A × C of the amoeba A and the coamoeba C of P ∘ . This lays the groundwork for having the discriminant to be of codimension 2 in topological Strominger-Yau-Zaslow torus fibrations.
