Abstract: We study the combinatorial properties of a tropical hyperplane arrangement.
We define tropical oriented matroids, and prove that they share many of the
properties of ordinary oriented matroids. We show that a tropical oriented
matroid determines a subdivision of a product of two simplices, and conjecture
that this correspondence is a bijection.
