Tropicalizations of families of curves and applications

Abstract: In my talk I’ll discuss tropicalization construction for one-parameter families of curves, and the properties of the associated map from the tropicalization of the base to the moduli space of tropical curves. I will explain how these can be used to obtain irreducibility results for Severi varieties and Hurwitz schemes in positive characteristic. Joint with Karl Christ and Xiang He.
