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 $...

"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 ...

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 $\...

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 ...

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 ...

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.)

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 ...

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 ...

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,...

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. ...
