Abstract
We prove that any finite subgroup of the cluster modular group has fixed points in the cluster manifolds and under a certain condition. This generalizes Kerckhoff's Nielsen realization theorem [Ker83] for the mapping class group action on the Teichm\"uller space. The condition holds whenever admits a cluster DT transformation, and it can be also verified for all finite mutation types except for . Our proof closely follows Kerckhoff's argument, based on the convexity of log-cluster variables.
