Presentations of Semigroup Algebras of Weighted Trees

Abstract

We find presentations for subalgebras of invariants of the coordinate algebras of binary symmetric models of phylogenetic trees studied by Buczynska and Wisniewski in BW. These algebras arise as toric degenerations of rings of global sections of weight varieties of the Grassmanian of two planes associated to the Pl\"ucker embedding, and as toric degenerations of rings of invariants of Cox-Nagata rings.
