COMPUTATION OF ADMISSIBLE ARAKELOV-GREEN FUNCTIONS ON METRIZED GRAPHS

RUBEN MERLIJN VAN DIJK AND ENIS KAYA

Metrized graphs are nonarchimedean analogues of Riemann surfaces, and Arakelov-Green functions on these graphs are of fundamental importance for some aspects of arithmetic geometry. In the present paper, we give an explicit formula for an admissible Arakelov-Green function on a metrized graph, extending Cinkir's formula for the canonical Arakelov-Green function. Based on our formula, we present and implement an algorithm in the computer algebra system SageMath for explicitly computing such functions. We illustrate our algorithm with computational examples.
