Given a pair $(Γ, D)$ consisting of a stable tropical curve $Γ$ and a divisor $D$ in the canonical linear system on $Γ$, we give a purely combinatorial condition to decide whether there is a smooth curve $X$ over a non-Archimedean field whose stable reduction has $Γ$ as its dual tropical curve together with a effective canonical divisor $K_X$ that specializes to $D$. Along the way, we develop a moduli-theoretic framework to understand Baker's specialization of divisors from algebraic to tropical curves as a natural toroidal tropicalization map in the sense of Abramovich-Caporaso-Payne.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"apa":"Moeller, M., Ulirsch, M., &#38; Werner, A.
