Abstract

Continuing to our previous work [IY21](arXiv:2101.00643) on the sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3-case, we introduce a skein algebra Ssp4,Σq\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma}^{q} consisting of sp4\mathfrak{sp}_4-webs on a marked surface Σ\Sigma with certain "clasped" skein relations at special points, and investigate its cluster nature. We also introduce a natural Zq\mathbb{Z}_q-form Ssp4,ΣZqSsp4,Σq\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma}^{\mathbb{Z}_q} \subset \mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma}^q, while the natural coefficient ring R\mathcal{R} of Ssp4,Σq\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma}^q includes the inverse of the quantum integer [2]q[2]_q. We prove that its boundary-localization Ssp4,ΣZq[1]\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma}^{\mathbb{Z}_q}[\partial^{-1}] is included into a quantum cluster algebra Asp4,Σq\mathscr{A}^q_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma} that quantizes the function ring of the moduli space ASp4,Σ×\mathcal{A}_{Sp_4,\Sigma}^\times. Moreover, we obtain the positivity of Laurent expressions of elevation-preserving webs in a similar way to [IY21](arXiv:2101.00643). We also propose a characterization of cluster variables in the spirit of Fomin--Pylyavksyy [FP16](arXiv:1210.1888) in terms of the sp4\mathfrak{sp}_4-webs, and give infinitely many supporting examples on a quadrilateral.
