DESCRIPTION:Tropical curves are piecewise linear analogues of algebraic cu
 rves that share many of their properties. The tropical correspondence theo
 rem of Mikhalkin and Nishinou-Siebert states that rational plane curves th
 rough general points can be counted tropically. Another natural enumerativ
 e problem is the count (relative/log GW invariant) of plane curves interse
 cting a fixed elliptic curve in exactly one (unspecified) point. In this t
 alk I will explain the tropical analogue of this counting problem.
