Abstract: | AbstractWe study the value semiring Γ, equipped with the tropical operations, associated to an algebroid curve. As a set, Γ determines and is determined by the well-known value semigroup S and we prove that Γ is always finitely generated in contrast to S. In particular, for a plane curve, we present a straightforward way to obtain Γ in terms of the semiring (or the semigroup) of each branch of the curve and the mutual intersection multiplicity of its branches. In the analytic case, this allows us to relate the results of Zariski and Waldi that characterize the topological type of the curve. |
