Periods of tropical K3 hypersurfaces
Let Δ be a smooth reflexive polytope in dimension 3 and f be a tropical polynomial whose Newton polytope is the polar dual of Δ. One can construct a 2-sphere B equipped with an integral affine structure with singularities by contracting the tropical K3 hypersurface defined by f. We write the complement of the singularity as ι:B0↪B, and the local system of integral tangent vectors on B0 as TZ. Let further Y be an anti-canonical hypersurface of the toric variety associated with the normal fan of Δ, and Pic(Y)amb be the sublattice of the Picard group of Y coming from the ambient space. In this talk, we give a primitive embedding Pic(Y)amb↪H1(B,ι∗TZ) that preserves the pairing, and compute the radiance obstruction of B, which sits in the subspace generated by the image of Pic(Y)amb. We will also discuss the relation with the asymptotic behavior of the period map of complex K3 hypersurfaces.
