Abstract

We generalize the theory of integer CC-, GG-matrices in cluster algebras to the real case. By a skew-symmetrizing method, we can reduce the problem of skew-symmetrizable patterns to the one of skew-symmetric patterns. In this sense, we extend the sign-coherence of integer CC-, GG-matrices proved by Gross-Hacking-Keel-Kontsevich to a more general real class called of quasi-integer type. Furthermore, we give a complete classification of this type by a combinatorial method of real weighted quivers. However, the sign-coherence of real CC-, GG-matrices does not always hold in general. For this purpose, we classify all the rank 22 case and the finite type case via the Coxeter diagrams. We also give two conjectures about the real exchange matrices and CC-, GG-matrices. Under these conjectures, the dual mutation, GG-fan structure and synchronicity property hold. As an application, the isomorphism of several kinds of exchange graphs is studied.
