Abstract

Given a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix AA, for any index kk, one can define an automorphism associated with A,A, of the field Q(u1,>...,un)\mathbf{Q}(u_1, >..., u_n) of rational functions of nn independent indeterminates u1,...,un.u_1,..., u_n. It is an isomorphism between two cluster algebras associated to the matrix AA (see section 4 for precise meaning). When AA is of finite type, these isomorphisms behave nicely, they are compatible with the BGP-reflection functors of cluster categories defined in [Z1, Z2] if we identify the indecomposable objects in the categories with cluster variables of the corresponding cluster algebras, and they are also compatible with the "truncated simple reflections" defined in [FZ2, FZ3]. Using the construction of preprojective or preinjective modules of hereditary algebras by Dlab-Ringel [DR] and the Coxeter automorphisms (i.e., a product of these isomorphisms), we construct infinitely many cluster variables for cluster algebras of infinite type and all cluster variables for finite types.
