Theta functions in acyclic cluster algebras

Setup: Let $B$ be a skew-symmetrisable integer matrix and $\mathcal{A}$ be the cluster algebra with principal coefficients at a seed with mutation matrix $\tilde{B}$ whose principal part is equal to $...

Easy way to understand theta basis for X-cluster algebras of finite type?

For $\mathcal A$-cluster algebras of finite type, it is very easy to describe the theta-basis: it consists of the cluster monomials. Is there any similarly easy way to describe the theta-basis for $\...

"Cluster algebra" structure for finite distributive lattices

Let $P$ be an $n$-element poset and $J(P)$ the distributive lattice of its order ideals (i.e., the downwards-closed sets). For each $I\in J(P)$ let $x_I \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be the indicator function ...

About cluster variables obtained by (sequentially) mutating at exchangeable variables from an initial cluster

Let $\Sigma=(X,ex,B)$ be a seed, $\mathcal{A}(\Sigma)$ a corresponding geometric cluster algebra and $\mathcal{X}_{\Sigma}$ the set of all cluster variables of $\mathcal{A}(\Sigma)$. We call a ...

Applications of cluster algebras

Why are so many algebraists nowadays interested in cluster algebras? (This is a rewording of one half of the closed question Cluster algebras and teichmuller theory.)

Defining cluster algebras of finite type $\mathrm{A}$ by generators and relations

Consider a cluster algebra of finite type $\mathrm{A}$. The set of all (distinct) cluster variables is of finite cardinality, denote it by $k$, for such algebra. Is it true that, for an arbitrary ...

Do we have super Plucker relations for a super Grassmannian?

Super Grassmannians are introduced by Manin, see for example. We have Plucker relation for Grassmannian. Are there some references about super Plucker relations for super Grassmannian? Thank you ...

What is a good introduction to cluster algebras from surfaces?

What is a good reference for cluster algebras from surfaces, with a view to their connection to Teichmuller theory? In my view, that means it should start off with unpunctured surfaces (and in fact,...

Which cluster algebras are coordinate rings of double Bruhat cells?

Background A uselessly vague paragraph follows. A cluster algebra is a commutative algebra $A$ with a distinguished set of generators called cluster variables. These cluster variables are grouped ...

Number of cluster variables

In the paper Hernandez and Leclerc - Cluster algebras and quantum affine algebras, Section 13.5, it is said that when $\mathfrak{g}$ is of type $A_2$ and $\ell=2$, then the corresponding cluster ...

What are the cluster algebra structures on $Gr(3,5)$?

In the paper, cluster algebra structures on $Gr(2,n)$, $Gr(3,6)$, $Gr(3,7)$, $Gr(3,8)$, $Gr(4,6)$ are described. But what are the cluster algebra structures on $Gr(3,5)$ (and $Gr(3,4)$)? Do we have ...

Tropical version of exchange relations in cluster algebras

The exchange relation in a cluster algebra is \begin{align} x_k' = \frac{1}{x_k} (\prod_{j \to k}x_j + \prod_{k \to j} x_j). \end{align} Do we have some tropical version of this relation? Are there ...

Non-crystallographic cluster algebras

Background Fomin and Zelevinsky have introduced cluster algebras in an influential article. To define a cluster algebra, Fomin and Zelevinsky have defined a mutation of seeds. Here, a seed $(\mathbf{...
