Tropical curves in abelian surfaces I: enumeration of curves passing through points
This paper is the first part in a series of three papers devoted to the study of enumerative invariants of abelian surfaces through the tropical approach. In this paper, we consider the enumeration
Refined count for rational tropical curves in arbitrary dimension
In this paper we introduce a refined multiplicity for rational tropical curves in arbitrary dimension, which generalizes the refined multiplicity introduced by Block and Göttsche (Compositio
Brief introduction to tropical geometry

The paper consists of lecture notes for a mini-course given by the authors at the G\"okova Geometry \& Topology conference in May 2014. We start the exposition with tropical curves in the plane and
Floor diagrams and enumerative invariants of line bundles over an elliptic curve
We use the tropical geometry approach to compute absolute and relative GromovWitten invariants of complex surfaces which are CP 1-bundles over an elliptic curve. We also show that the tropical
Tropical refined curve counting from higher genera and lambda classes
It is shown that the result is a generating series of higher genus log Gromov–Witten invariants with insertion of a lambda class, which gives a geometric interpretation of the Block-Göttsche invariants and makes their deformation invariance manifest.

Quantum indices and refined enumeration of real plane curves
We associate a half-integer number, called {\em the quantum index}, to algebraic curves in the real plane satisfying to certain conditions. The area encompassed by the logarithmic image of such
Quantum mirrors of log Calabi–Yau surfaces and higher-genus curve counting
Gross, Hacking and Keel have constructed mirrors of log Calabi–Yau surfaces in terms of counts of rational curves. Using $q$-deformed scattering diagrams defined in terms of higher-genus log
Tropical curves in abelian surfaces II: enumeration of curves in linear systems
In this paper, second installment in a series of three, we give a correspondence theorem to relate the count of genus g curves in a fixed linear system in an abelian surface to a tropical count. To

We obtain a recursive formula answering the following question: How many irreducible, plane curves of degree d and (geometric) genus g pass through 3d-1+g general points in the plane? The formula is
Enumerative tropical algebraic geometry
The paper establishes a formula for enumeration of curves of arbitrary genus in toric surfaces. It turns out that such curves can be counted by means of certain lattice paths in the Newton polygon.

Abstract We show that the number of tropical curves of given genus and degree through some given general points in the plane does not depend on the position of the points. In the case when the degree
