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…
Cluster algebras are commutative rings with a set of distinguished generators having a remarkable combinatorial structure. They were introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky in 2000 in the context of Lie theory, but have since appeared in many…
Cluster algebras were introduced by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky in connection with dual canonical bases. Let U be a cluster algebra of type A_n. We associate to each cluster C of U an abelian category Cat_C such that the indecomposable…
Cluster algebras were introduced by Fomin-Zelevinsky in 2002 in order to give a combinatorial framework for phenomena occurring in the context of algebraic groups. Cluster algebras also have links to a wide range of other subjects,…
Cluster algebras were introduced by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky in math.RT/0104151; their study continued in math.RA/0208229, math.RT/0305434. This is a family of commutative rings designed to serve as an algebraic framework for the theory…
Cluster algebras were introduced by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky in connection with dual canonical bases. To a cluster algebra of simply laced Dynkin type one can associate the cluster category. Any cluster of the cluster algebra corresponds…
This is an introduction to some aspects of Fomin-Zelevinsky's cluster algebras and their links with the representation theory of quivers and with Calabi-Yau triangulated categories. It is based on lectures given by the author at summer…
We apply the new theory of cluster algebras of Fomin and Zelevinsky to study some combinatorial problems arising in Lie theory. This is joint work with Geiss and Schr\"oer (3, 4, 5, 6), and with Hernandez (8, 9).
We introduce a new function on the set of pairs of cluster variables via $f$-vectors, which we call it the compatibility degree (of cluster complexes). The compatibility degree is a natural generalization of the classical compatibility…
These are expanded notes from three survey lectures given at the 14th International Conference on Representations of Algebras (ICRA XIV) held in Tokyo in August 2010. We first study identities between products of quantum dilogarithm series…
This is a brief and informal introduction to cluster algebras. It roughly follows the historical path of their discovery, made jointly with A.Zelevinsky. Total positivity serves as the main motivation.
Cluster algebras are a recent topic of study and have been shown to be a useful tool to characterize structures in several knowledge fields. An important problem is to establish whether or not a given cluster algebra is of finite type.…
We give a short proof of a Ptolemy-style result first discovered and proved by Jane McDougall. It may be viewed as a generalization to any even number of points of the cubic relation connecting the six joint distances of four points on a…
Sergey Fomin and Andrei Zelevinsky have invented cluster algebras at the beginning of this decade with the aim of creating an algebraic framework for the study of canonical bases in quantum groups and total positivity in algebraic groups.…
This paper demonstrates that the homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian $\Bbb{G}(k,n)$ is a {\it cluster algebra of geometric type} - as defined by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky. Grassmannians having {\it finite cluster type} are…
A cluster is a finite set of generators of a cluster algebra. The Laurent Phenomenon of Fomin and Zelevinsky says that any element of a cluster algebra can be written as a Laurent polynomial in terms of any cluster. The upper cluster…
In a survey paper in 2011, Amiot proposed a conjectural characterisation of the cluster categories which were conceived in the mid 2000s to lift the combinatorics of Fomin-Zelevinsky's cluster algebras to the categorical level. This paper…
We introduce a new class of algebras, which we call cluster-tilted. They are by definition the endomorphism algebras of tilting objects in a cluster category. We show that their representation theory is very close to the representation…
Let $\mathcal{O}$ be the category of representations of the Borel subalgebra of a quantum affine algebra introduced by Jimbo and the first author. We show that the Grothendieck ring of a certain monoidal subcategory of $\mathcal{O}$ has the…
This is an appendix to the Handbook of Tilting Theory, edited by Angeleri-Huegel, Happel and Krause, to be published soon. Part 1 of the appendix provides an outline of the core of tilting theory. Part 2 is devoted to topics where tilting…
