Principles: Tropical curves in TP 3 encode degenerations of curves in P 3 They encode in detail the manner in which they degenerate They encode logarithmic stable maps in P 3. But logarithmic stable maps are obstructed. Question Is there a world in which they are not obstructed? Abramovich (Brown) Artin fans October 24, 2014 4 / 13
