Remark 1.21.

The property of VV from Proposition 1.18 can be alternatively reformulated in terms of the moment map μ¯Δ:ℂ​TΔ→Δ\bar{\mu}_{\Delta}:\mathbb{C}T_{\Delta}\to\Delta, see 1.3. The image μ⁡(V)\mu(V) is disjoint from the vertices of Δ\Delta but intersects every positive-dimensional face of Δ\Delta. According to [4] the image μ⁡(V)\mu(V) is called the compactified amoeba of V∘{V}^{\circ}. This restatement is equivalent to the property from Proposition 1.18, since for any face Δ′⊂Δ\Delta^{\prime}\subset\Delta we have μ⁡(ℂ​TΔ′)=Δ′\mu(\mathbb{C}T_{\Delta^{\prime}})=\Delta^{\prime}.
