title: Tropical Brill-Noether Theory.
Abstract: Over the last decade, a Brill-Noether theory for tropical curves
analogous to the corresponding theory for algebraic curves has taken
shape.
This was discussed by Ashwin Deopurkar in the first few
CACAAG talks. I will sketch the proof of the nonexistence part of the
Brill-Noether theorem for tropical curves. This is based on the paper ``A
tropical proof of the Brill-Noether Theorem'' by Cools,Draisma,Payne and
Robeva.
