4.3. Non-Archimedean geometry
The family can be thought of as an affine algebraic hypersurface in defined over a complete algebraically closed field that contains . Then, as the name suggests, the image of under the valuation map will be the non-Archimedean amoeba (cf. [Kap00]).
Interestingly, the potential functions for our Kähler forms will come from smoothing a convex piecewise linear function on . This gives another evidence that there may be a reformulation of mirror symmetry purely in non-Archimedean terms. There is a partial understanding of this approach [Kon00], but the entire program still remains wide open.
