Non-Archimedean geometry of Artin fans
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to study the role of Artin fans in tropical and non-Archimedean geometry. Artin fans are logarithmic algebraic stacks that can be described completely in terms of combinatorial objects, so called Kato stacks, a stack-theoretic generalization of K. Kato's notion of a fan. Every logarithmic algebraic stack admits a tautological strict morphism $\phi_\mathcal{X}:\mathcal{X}\rightarrow\mathcal{A}_\mathcal{X}$ to an associated Artin fan. The main result of this article is that, on the level of underlying topological spaces, the natural functorial tropicalization map of $\mathcal{X}$ is nothing but the non-Archimedean analytic map associated to $\phi_\mathcal{X}$ by applying Thuillier's generic fiber functor. Using this framework, we give a reinterpretation of the main result of Abramovich-Caporaso-Payne identifying the moduli space of tropical curves with the non-Archimedean skeleton of the corresponding algebraic moduli space.
