Abstract

The goal of this note is to affirm a local version of conjecture of Nisse–Sottile [19] on higher convexity of complements of tropical varieties, while providing a family of counter-examples for the global Nisse–Sottle conjecture in any codimension and dimension higher than one. Moreover, it is shown that, surprisingly, this family also provides a family of counter-examples for the generalized Hodge conjecture for positive currents in these dimensions, and gives rise to further approximability obstruction.
