Tropicalization of toric prevarieties

Abstract: The homogeneous spectrum of a multigraded finitely generated algebra (in the sense of Brenner-Schr\"oer) always admits an embedding into a toric variety that is not necessarily separated, a so-called toric prevariety. In order to have a convenient framework to study the tropicalization of homogeneous spectra we propose a tropicalization procedure for toric prevarieties and study its basic properties. With these tools at hand, we prove a generalization of Payne's and Foster--Gross--Payne's tropical limit theorem for divisorial schemes.
