Proof: To prove (a), we may assume that X=Spec⁡(A)X={\rm Spec}(A) is a very affine scheme. A basis of Xan{X^{\rm an}} is formed by subsets of the form V:={x∈X∣s1<|f1(x)|<r1,…,sk<|fk(x)|<rk}V:=\{x\in X\mid s_{1}<|f_{1}(x)|<r_{1},\dots,s_{k}<|f_{k}(x)|<r_{k}\} with all fa∈Af_{a}\in A and real numbers sa<ras_{a}<r_{a}. Using the ultrametric triangle inequality, it is easy to see that we may choose the basis in such a way that 0<sa0<s_{a} for all a=1,…​ka=1,\dots k. Note that VV is contained in the analytification of the very affine open subset U:={x∈X∣f1(x)≠0,…,fk(x)≠0}U:=\{x\in X\mid f_{1}(x)\neq 0,\dots,f_{k}(x)\neq 0\} of XX. It is obvious that (V,φU)(V,\varphi_{U}) is a tropical chart proving (a).

To prove (b), let us consider the moment map

Φ:U∩U′→TU×TU′,x↦(φU​(x),φU′​(x)).\Phi:U\cap U^{\prime}\rightarrow T_{U}\times T_{U^{\prime}},\quad x\mapsto(\varphi_{U}(x),\varphi_{U^{\prime}}(x)).

Since XX is separated, it is easy to see that Φ\Phi is a closed embedding and hence U∩U′U\cap U^{\prime} is very affine. We conclude that U∩U′U\cap U^{\prime} is a very affine open subset of XX. By definition of a tropical chart, Ω:=tropU​(V)\Omega:={\rm trop}_{U}(V) (resp. Ω′:=tropU′​(V′)\Omega^{\prime}:={\rm trop}_{U^{\prime}}(V^{\prime})) is an open subset of Trop⁡(U){\rm Trop}(U) (resp. Trop⁡(U′){\rm Trop}(U^{\prime})). Note that

Ω′′:=Φtrop​((U∩U′)an)∩(Ω×Ω′)⊂(NU)ℝ×(NU′)ℝ\Omega^{\prime\prime}:=\Phi_{\rm trop}((U\cap U^{\prime})^{\rm an})\cap(\Omega\times\Omega^{\prime})\subset(N_{U})_{\mathbb{R}}\times(N_{U^{\prime}})_{\mathbb{R}}

is an open subset of Φtrop​((U∩U′)an)\Phi_{\rm trop}((U\cap U^{\prime})^{\rm an}). An easy diagram chase yields Φtrop−1​(Ω′′)=V∩V′\Phi_{\rm trop}^{-1}(\Omega^{\prime\prime})=V\cap V^{\prime}. Since φU∩U′\varphi_{U\cap U^{\prime}} refines the moment map Φ\Phi, we deduce that (V∩V′,φU∩U′)(V\cap V^{\prime},\varphi_{U\cap U^{\prime}}) is a tropical chart. This proves (b).

Finally, we prove (c). Let ψ:=ψU,U′′:TU′′→TU\psi:=\psi_{U,U^{\prime\prime}}:T_{U^{\prime\prime}}\rightarrow T_{U} be the canonical affine homomorphism from 4.12. Then we have tropU=Trop⁡(ψ)∘tropU′′{\rm trop}_{U}={\rm Trop}(\psi)\circ{\rm trop}_{U^{\prime\prime}} on (U′′)an(U^{\prime\prime})^{\rm an}. Since (V,φU)(V,\varphi_{U}) is a tropical chart, Ω:=tropU​(V)\Omega:={\rm trop}_{U}(V) is an open subset of Trop⁡(U){\rm Trop}(U) and V=tropU−1​(Ω)V={\rm trop}_{U}^{-1}(\Omega). Using V⊂(U′′)anV\subset(U^{\prime\prime})^{\rm an}, we get V=tropU′′−1​(Ω′′)V={\rm trop}_{U^{\prime\prime}}^{-1}(\Omega^{\prime\prime}) for the open subset Ω′′:=Trop​(ψ)−1​(Ω)\Omega^{\prime\prime}:={\rm Trop}(\psi)^{-1}(\Omega) of Trop⁡(U′′){\rm Trop}(U^{\prime\prime}). We conclude that (V,φU′′)(V,\varphi_{U^{\prime\prime}}) is a tropical chart proving (c). □\square
