2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We consider Gromovs homological higher convexity for complements of tropical varieties, establishing it for complements of tropical hypersurfaces and curves, and for nonarchimedean amoebas of varieties that are complete intersections over the field of complex Puiseux series. Based on these results, we conjecture that the complement of a tropical variety has this higher convexity, and prove a weak form of this conjecture for the nonarchimedean amoeba of any variety over the complex Puiseux field. One of our main tools is Jonssons limit theorem for tropical varieties.
