The Exchange Graphs of Weakly Separated Collections

Combinatorics 2016-08-23 v1

Abstract

Weakly separated collections arise in the cluster algebra derived from the Pl\"ucker coordinates on the nonnegative Grassmannian. Oh, Postnikov, and Speyer studied weakly separated collections over a general Grassmann necklace I\mathcal{I} and proved the connectivity of every exchange graph. Oh and Speyer later introduced a generalization of exchange graphs that we call C\mathcal{C}-constant graphs. They characterized these graphs in the smallest two cases. We prove an isomorphism between exchange graphs and a certain class of C\mathcal{C}-constant graphs. We use this to extend Oh and Speyer's characterization of these graphs to the smallest four cases, and we present a conjecture on a bound on the maximal order of these graphs. In addition, we fully characterize certain classes of these graphs in the special cases of cycles and trees.
