Abstract
We introduce an epsilon system on a geometric crystal of type An, which is a certain set of rational functions with some nice properties. We shall show that it is equipped with a product structure and that it is invariant under the action of tropical R maps.

Key words: geometric crystal; epsilon system; tropical R map.
