Congruence spectra and geometric reconstruction of T-algebras

Abstract

We develop a geometric theory of congruence spectra for semirings. We define the congruence spectrum for a semiring as the set of prime congruences on it, equip it with the Zariski topology, and construct a structure sheaf. For a class of semirings including B-algebras, we establish quasi-compactness of their congruence spectra. We then prove reconstruction results for congruence spectra of quotients K/E(V), where V is a subset of Euclidean space, K is a tropical Laurent polynomial semiring, a tropical Laurent polynomial function semiring, or a tropical rational function semifield, and E(V) is the congruence of pairs of elements of K that agree on V. The global sections of the structure sheaf recover K/E(V), and the corresponding algebraic and geometric categories are contravariantly equivalent. For finite unions of R-rational polyhedral sets V, we completely classify the prime congruences on K / E(V). As an application, we study rational function semifields of tropical curves with parallel rays. We show that their congruence spectra recover the underlying curves together with the parallelism of rays and their intrinsic metrics.
