Abstract

The tropical vertex is an incarnation of mirror symmetry found by Gross, Pandharipande and Siebert. It can be applied to m-Kronecker quivers K(m) (together with a result of Reineke) to compute the Euler characteristics of the moduli spaces of their (framed) representations in terms of GromovWitten invariants (as shown by Gross and Pandharipande). In this paper we study a possible geometric picture behind this correspondence, in particular constructing rational tropical curves from subquivers of the universal covering quiver K(m). Additional motivation comes from the physical interpretation of m-Kronecker quivers in the context of quiver quantum mechanics (especially work of F. Denef).
