Skein and cluster algebras with coefficients for unpunctured surfaces

Geometric Topology 2024-08-23 v2 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

We propose a skein model for the quantum cluster algebras of surface type with coefficients. We introduce a skein algebra SΣ,WA\mathscr{S}_{\Sigma,\mathbb{W}}^{A} of a walled surface (Σ,W)(\Sigma,\mathbb{W}), and prove that it has a quantum cluster structure. The walled surfaces naturally generalize the marked surfaces with multi-laminations, which have been used to describe the quantum cluster algebras of geometric type for marked surfaces by Fomin--Thurston [FT18]. Moreover, we give skein theoretic interpretation for some of quasi-homomorphisms [Fra16] between these quantum cluster algebras.
