Abstract

We study the triple-invariant algebra k[k3k2k2]U3×U2×U2. \Bbbk[\Bbbk^3\otimes\Bbbk^2\otimes\Bbbk^2]^{U_3\times U_2\times U_2}. A quotient slice and the induced logarithmic top form determine a signed Markov chart, realized as the fiber ζ=1\zeta=-1 of an ordinary cluster family. We prove Ugen=Mu[uΔ], \mathscr U_{\mathrm{gen}}=\mathcal M_u[u_\Delta], where Mu\mathcal M_u is a specialized middle cluster algebra and uΔu_\Delta is the discriminant of weight (220;22;22)(220;22;22). Its theta cone has a sixteen-element Hilbert basis. Pairing its positive- and negative-degree generators reduces each triple-weight space to a single discriminant level determined by the weight. Counting the resulting two-dimensional slice gives an explicit nonnegative finite-sum formula. Determinant reduction extends the formula to all n×2×2n\times2\times2 Kronecker coefficients.
