Geometric construction of cluster algebras and cluster categories

Combinatorics 2010-11-18 v1 Representation Theory

Abstract

In this note we explain how to obtain cluster algebras from triangulations of (punctured) discs following the approach of S. Fomin, M. Shapiro and D. Thurston. Furthermore, we give a description of m-cluster categories via diagonals (arcs) in (punctured) polygons and of m-cluster categories via powers of translation quivers as given in joint work with R. Marsh.
