Let
be affine finite crystals. Combinatorial
is
a unique map
commuting with Kashiwara operators
.
If
and
have a coordinate representation, the image of
is written as a set of piecewise linear functions in these
coordinates. Following Kirillov's slogan ``Tropical Combinatorics"
we tackle this problem of obtaining the explicit formula of
by
replacing the notions crystal and combinatorical
with
geometric crystal, introduced by Berenstein and Kazhdan, and
tropical
.
