Well-Poised Hypersurfaces

An ideal $I$ is said to be "well-poised" if all of the initial ideals obtained from points in the tropical variety $Trop(I)$ are prime. This condition was first defined by Nathan Ilten and the third author. We classify all well-poised hypersurfaces over an algebraically closed field. We also study the tropical varieties and associated Newton-Okounkov bodies of these hypersurfaces.
