On Tropical Intersection Theory

We develop a tropical intersection formalism of forms and currents that extends classical tropical intersection theory in two ways. First, it allows to work with arbitrary polytopes, also non-rational ones. Second, it allows for smooth differential forms as coefficients. The intersection product in our formalism can be defined through the diagonal intersection method of Allermann--Rau or the fan displacement rule. We prove with a limiting argument that both definitions agree.
