Cluster Algebras and Symmetries of Regular Tilings

We give an introduction to the theory of cluster categories and cluster tilted algebras. We include some background on the theory of cluster algebras, and discuss the interplay with cluster categories and cluster tilted algebras.

Classification of cluster variables in cluster algebras (in particular, Grassmannian cluster algebras) is an important problem, which has direct application to computations of scattering amplitudes in physics. In this paper, we apply the tableaux method to classify cluster variables in Grassmannian cluster algebras $\mathbb{C}[Gr(k,n)]$ up to $(k,n)=(3,12), (4,10)$, or $(4,12)$ up to a certain number of columns of tableaux, using HPC clusters. These datasets are made availabl...

This paper continues the study of cluster algebras initiated in math.RT/0104151. Its main result is the complete classification of the cluster algebras of finite type, i.e., those with finitely many clusters. This classification turns out to be identical to the Cartan-Killing classification of semisimple Lie algebras and finite root systems, which is intriguing since in most cases, the symmetry exhibited by the Cartan-Killing type of a cluster algebra is not at all apparent f...

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).

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 classified and the associated cluster variables are studied in connection with the geometry of configurations of points in $\Bbb{R}\Bbb{P}^2$.

This is an expanded version of the notes of our lectures given at the conference "Current Developments in Mathematics 2003" held at Harvard University on November 21--22, 2003. We present an overview of the main definitions, results and applications of the theory of cluster algebras.

These are notes for a series of lectures presented at the ASIDE conference 2016. The definition of a cluster algebra is motivated through several examples, namely Markov triples, the Grassmannians $Gr_2(\mathbb{C})$, and the appearance of double Bruhat cells in the theory of total positivity. Once the definition of cluster algebras is introduced in several stages of increasing generality, proofs of fundamental results are sketched in the rank 2 case. From these foundations we...

This is a preliminary draft of Chapters 4-5 of our forthcoming textbook "Introduction to Cluster Algebras." Chapters 1-3 have been posted as arXiv:1608.05735. This installment contains: Chapter 4. New patterns from old Chapter 5. Finite type classification

This is a survey article on some connections between cluster algebras and link invariants, written for the Notices of the AMS.

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 total positivity and geometry of double Bruhat cells in semisimple groups. The second lecture introduces cluster algebras and discusses some basic results, open questions and conjectures.
