Abstract
This paper is a combinatorial and computational study of the moduli space of tropical curves of genus , the moduli space of principally polarized tropical abelian varieties, and the tropical Torelli map. These objects were studied recently by Brannetti, Melo, and Viviani. Here, we give a new definition of the category of stacky fans, of which and are objects and the Torelli map is a morphism. We compute the poset of cells of and of the tropical Schottky locus for genus at most 5. We show that is Hausdorff, and we also construct a finite-index cover for the space which satisfies a tropical-type balancing condition. Many different combinatorial objects, including regular matroids, positive-semidefinite forms, and metric graphs, play a role.
