Abstract

For a fixed seed (X,Q)(X, Q), a \emph{rooted mutation loop} is a sequence of mutations that preserves (X,Q)(X, Q). The group generated by all rooted mutation loops is called \emph{rooted mutation group} and will be denoted by M(Q)\mathcal{M}(Q). The \emph{global mutation group} of (X,Q)(X, Q), denoted M\mathcal{M}, is the group of all mutation sequences subject to the relations on the cluster structure of (X,Q)(X, Q). In this article, we show that two finite type cluster algebras A(Q)\mathcal{A}(Q) and A(Q)\mathcal{A}(Q') are isomorphic if and only if their rooted mutation groups are isomorphic and the sets M/M(Q)\mathcal{M}/\mathcal{M}(Q) and M/M(Q)\mathcal{M'}/\mathcal{M}(Q') are in one to one correspondence. The second main result shows that the group M(Q)\mathcal{M}(Q) and the set M/M(Q)\mathcal{M}/\mathcal{M}(Q) determine the finiteness of the cluster algebra A(Q)\mathcal{A}(Q) and vice versa.
