Abstract

For a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} admitting a non-trivial minuscule representation and a connected marked surface Σ\Sigma with at least two marked points and no punctures, we prove that the cluster algebra Ag,Σ\mathscr{A}_{\mathfrak{g},\Sigma} associated with the pair (g,Σ)(\mathfrak{g},\Sigma) coincides with the upper cluster algebra Ug,Σ\mathscr{U}_{\mathfrak{g},\Sigma}. The proof is based on the fact that the function ring O(AG,Σ×)\mathcal{O}(\mathcal{A}^\times_{G,\Sigma}) of the moduli space of decorated twisted GG-local systems on Σ\Sigma is generated by matrix coefficients of Wilson lines introduced in [IO20]. As an application, we prove that the Muller-type skein algebras Sg,Σ[1]\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{g}, \Sigma}[\partial^{-1}] [Muller,IY23,IY22] for g=sl2,sl3,\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_2, \mathfrak{sl}_3, or sp4\mathfrak{sp}_4 are isomorphic to the cluster algebras Ag,Σ\mathscr{A}_{\mathfrak{g}, \Sigma}.
