Surface cluster algebra expansion formulae via loop graphs

Combinatorics 2020-07-01 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

In 2011 Musiker, Schiffler and Williams obtained expansion formulae for cluster algebras from orientable surfaces. For singly and doubly notched arcs these formulae required the notion of γ\gamma-symmetric perfect matchings and γ\gamma-compatible pairs of γ\gamma-symmetric perfect matchings, respectively. We simplify and unify these approaches by considering good matchings of loop graphs.
