Tropical Weil's reciprocity law and Weil's pairing

Abstract

The Weil reciprocity law asserts that given two meromorphic functions $f, g$ on a compact complex curve, the product of the values of $f$ over the roots and poles of $g$ is equal to the product of the values of $g$ over the roots and poles of $f$. We state and prove a tropical version of this reciprocity; the tropical ideas lead to yet another transparent ``combinatorial'' proof of the classical Weil reciprocity law. Then, we construct a tropical Weil pairing on the set of divisors of degree zero.
