Building on work by Kontsevich, Soibelman, Nagao and Efimov, we prove the positivity of quantum cluster coefficients for all skew-symmetric quantum cluster algebras, via a proof of a conjecture first suggested by Kontsevich on the purity of…
We review some important results by Gross, Hacking, Keel, and Kontsevich on cluster algebra theory, namely, the column sign-coherence of $C$-matrices and the Laurent positivity, both of which were conjectured by Fomin and Zelevinsky. We…
We study the relationship between the positivity property in a rank 2 cluster algebra, and the property of such an algebra to be tame. More precisely, we show that a rank 2 cluster algebra has a basis of indecomposable positive elements if…
Let $(S,M,U)$ be a marked orbifold with or without punctures and let $\mathcal A_v$ be a quantum cluster algebra from $(S,M,U)$ with arbitrary coefficients and quantization. We provide combinatorial formulas for quantum Laurent expansion of…
The purpose of this note is to provide a gentle introduction to basic universal algebra and (abstract) clones.
This is a reasonably self-contained exposition of the fascinating interplay between cluster algebras and the dilogarithm in the past two decades. The dilogarithm has a long and rich history since it was studied by Euler. The most intriguing…
This is a concise introduction to Fomin-Zelevinsky's cluster algebras and their links with the representation theory of quivers in the acyclic case. We review the definition of cluster algebras (geometric, without coefficients), construct…
This is the first of a series of papers where we develop a theory of total positivity for loop groups. In this paper, we completely describe the totally nonnegative part of the polynomial loop group GL_n(\R[t,t^{-1}]), and for the formal…
In this study, we consider the positive cluster complex, a full subcomplex of a cluster complex the vertices of which are all non-initial cluster variables. In particular, we provide a formula for the difference in face vectors of positive…
We show that in case a cluster algebra coincides with its upper cluster algebra and the cluster algebra admits a grading with finite dimensional homogeneous components, the corresponding Berenstein-Zelevinsky quantum cluster algebra can be…
This is an expanded version of the notes for the two lectures at the 2004 International Mathematics Conference (Chonbuk National University, August 4-6, 2004). The first lecture discusses the origins of cluster algebras, with the focus on…
This note introduces the superunitary region of a cluster algebra, the subspace of the totally positive region on which each cluster variable is at least 1. Our main result is that the superunitary region of a finite type cluster algebra is…
We introduce admissible group actions on cluster algebras, cluster categories and quivers with potential and study the resulting orbit spaces. The orbit space of the cluster algebra has the structure of a generalized cluster algebra. This…
We characterize mutation-finite cluster algebras of rank at least 3 using positive semi-definite quadratic forms. In particular, we associate with every unpunctured bordered surface a positive semi-definite quadratic space $V$, and with…
The article gives a ring theoretic perspective on cluster algebras. Gei{\ss}-Leclerc-Schr\"oer prove that all cluster variables in a cluster algebra are irreducible elements. Furthermore, they provide two necessary conditions for a cluster…
Let G be a simple and simply-connected complex algebraic group, and let X \subset G^\vee be the centralizer subgroup of a principal nilpotent element. Ginzburg and Peterson independently related the ring of functions on X with the homology…
We review how the (quantum) cluster algebra naturally emerges in the study of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories.
In recent decades, identities similar to the one in the Ptolemy's theorem started to pop up in many fields in connection to the notion of cluster algebras introduced and studied since 2000 by Fomin and Zelevinsky. In this brief note we will…
In 2013, Lee, Li, and Zelevinsky introduced combinatorial objects called compatible pairs to construct the greedy bases for rank-2 cluster algebras, consisting of indecomposable positive elements including the cluster monomials.…
We mainly introduce an abstract pattern to study cluster algebras. Cluster algebras, generalized cluster algebras and Laurent phenomenon algebras are unified in the language of generalized Laurent phenomenon algebras (briefly, GLP algebras)…
