m-Pluripotential theory on Riemannian spaces and tropical geometry

Abstract

In this study we extend the concepts of $m$-pluripotential theory to the Riemannian superspace formalism. Since in this setting positive supercurrents and tropical varieties are closely related, we try to understand the relative capacity notion with respect to the intersection of tropical hypersurfaces. Moreover, we generalize the classical quasicontinuity result of Cartan to $m$-subharmonic functions of Riemannian spaces and lastly we introduce the indicators of $m$-subharmonic functions and give a geometric characterization of their Newton numbers.
