Abstract
Any smooth tropical plane curve contains a distinguished trivalent
graph called its skeleton. In 2020 Morrison and Tewari proved that the
so-called big-face graphs cannot be the skeleta of tropical curves for genus
1 2 and
greater. In this paper we answer an open question they posed to extend
their result to the prism graphs, proving that a prism graph is the skeleton
of a smooth tropical plane curve precisely when the genus is at most
1 1 . Our
main tool is a classification of lattice polygons with two points that can
simultaneously view all others, without having any one point that can observe all
others.
Keywords
