Thisvolume grew out of two Simons Symposia on "Nonarchimedean and tropicalgeometry" which took place on the island of St. John in April 2013 and inPuerto Rico in February 2015. Each meeting gathered a small group of expertsworking near the interface between tropical geometry and nonarchimedeananalytic spaces for a series of inspiring and provocative lectures on cuttingedge research, interspersed with lively discussions and collaborative work insmall groups. The articles collected here, which include high-level surveys aswell as original research, mirror the main themes of the two Symposia.Topicscovered in this volume include: Differential forms and currents, andsolutions of Monge-Ampere type differential equations on Berkovich spaces andtheir skeletons; The homotopy types of nonarchimedean analytifications;The existence of "faithful tropicalizations" which encode the topology andgeometry of analytifications;Relations between nonarchimedean analyticspaces and algebraic geometry, including logarithmic schemes, birationalgeometry, and the geometry of algebraic curves;Extended notions oftropical varieties which relate to Huber's theory of adic spaces analogously tothe way that usual tropical varieties relate to Berkovich spaces; and Relationsbetween nonarchimedean geometry and combinatorics, including deep andfascinating connections between matroid theory, tropical geometry, and Hodgetheory.
