What do cluster algebras tell us about Grassmannians?

One of the first examples of a cluster algebra given in Fomin and Zelevinsky's original paper is the homogeneous coordinate ring $\mathbb{C}[G_{2,n}]$ of the Grassmannian of planes in $\mathbb{C}^n$. ...

Cluster algebras and cluster varieties

I have a really basic question about cluster algebras and cluster varieties. According to the definition of Fomin-Zelevinsky a cluster algebra is generated by a bunch of polynomial rings inside the ...

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 ...

Kahler differentials on cluster varieties

On affine toric varieties there is a classical theorem of Danilov which gives some combinatorial ways to describe the global sections of an appropriate sheaf of Kahler differentials as a vector space. ...

Cluster algebra structure on the coordinate ring of $Mat_3$

Let $Mat_3$ be the set of all 3 by 3 matrices. I have some questions on the cluster algebra structure on the coordinate ring of $Mat_3$. We use $\Delta_{j_1\ldots j_n}^{i_1\ldots i_n}$ to denote the ...

What algebraic varieties arise as intersections of finitely many cluster charts?

A cluster variety $V$ admits, by definition, many charts of the form $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n \hookrightarrow V$. These charts do not always cover the variety of interest, but when they do, one could e.g. ...

Berenstein-Fomin-Zelevinsky's Ininital seeds and initial seeds from Postnikov diagrams

In Cluster algebra III by Berenstein-Fomin-Zelevinsky, Theorem 2.10, for any pair of reduced words $(u,v)$, they constructed an initial seed for the cluster algebra $\mathbb{C}[B^{u,v}]$, where $B^{u,...

Are there some relations between F-polynomials and theta functions?

F-polynomials are certain polynomials appears in the expansion formula of a cluster variable, see for example the formula (6.5) in cluster algebras IV. Theta functions in the paper correspond to ...

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 ...
