The push-forwards and pull-backs of $\delta$-forms and applications to non-archimedean Arakelov geometry

Abstract

We study two kinds of push-forwards of $\delta$-forms and define the pull-backs of $\delta$-forms. As a generalization of Gubler-K\"unnemann, we prove the projection formula and the tropical Poincar\'e-Lelong formula. As an application, we follow the idea of Gubler-K\"unnemann and generalize the notion of $\delta$-forms on algebraic varieties, this allows us to define the first Chern forms for any piecewise smooth metrics.
