We consider the Ptolemy cluster algebras, which are cluster algebras of finite type $A$ (with non-trivial coefficients) that have been described by Fomin and Zelevinsky using triangulations of a regular polygon. Given any seed $\zS$ in a…

The aim of the paper is to define noncommutative cluster structure on several algebras ${\mathcal A}$ related to marked surfaces possibly with orbifold points of various orders, which includes noncommutative clusters, i.e., embeddings of a…

The aim of this paper is to give analogs of the cluster expansion formula of Musiker and Schiffler for cluster algebras of type A with coefficients arising from boundary arcs of the corresponding triangulated polygon. Indeed, we give three…

We show that cluster algebras do not contain non-trivial units and that all cluster variables are irreducible elements. Both statements follow from Fomin and Zelevinsky's Laurent phenomenon. As an application we give a criterion for a…

For any cluster algebra whose underlying combinatorial data can be encoded by a bordered surface with marked points, we construct a geometric realization in terms of suitable decorated Teichmueller space of the surface. On the geometric…

It was shown by Fock, Goncharov and Fomin, Shapiro, Thurston that some cluster algebras arise from triangulated orientable suraces. Subsequently Dupont and Palesi generalised this construction to include unpunctured non-orientable surfaces,…

We provide a module-theoretic interpretation of the expansion formula given by Huang (2022), which defines a map on perfect matchings to compute the expansion of quantum cluster variables in quantum cluster algebras arising from unpunctured…

For cluster algebras of surface type, Musiker, Schiffler and Williams gave a formula for cluster variables in terms of perfect matchings of snake graphs. Building on this, we provide a simple determinantal formula for cluster variables via…

We study Laurent expansions of cluster variables in a cluster algebra of rank 2 associated to a generalized Kronecker quiver. In the case of the ordinary Kronecker quiver, we obtain explicit expressions for Laurent expansions of the…

In this paper, we give matrix formulae for non-orientable surfaces that provide the Laurent expansion for quasi-cluster variables, generalizing the orientable surface matrix formulae by Musiker-Williams. We additionally use our matrix…

We introduce a class of commutative superalgebras generalizing cluster algebras. A cluster superalgebra is defined by a hypergraph called an "extended quiver", and transformations called mutations. We prove the super analog of the "Laurent…
