Cluster algebras: Notes for the CDM-03 conference

In this survey we discuss some combinatorial aspects of higher cluster categories.

This is an introductory survey on cluster algebras and their (additive) categorification using derived categories of Ginzburg algebras. After a gentle introduction to cluster combinatorics, we review important examples of coordinate rings admitting a cluster algebra structure. We then present the general definition of a cluster algebra and describe the interplay between cluster variables, coefficients, c-vectors and g-vectors. We show how c-vectors appear in the study of quan...

In the present paper we examine the relationship between several type $A$ cluster theories and structures. We define a 2D geometric model of a cluster theory, which generalizes cluster algebras from surfaces, and encode several existing type $A$ cluster theories into a 2D geometric model. We review two other cluster theories of type $A$. Then we introduce an abstraction of cluster structures. We prove two results: the first relates several existing type $A$ cluster theories a...

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 the cluster category and present the bijection between cluster variables and rigid indecomposable objects of the cluster category.

Let $Q$ be a finite quiver without oriented cycles and $k$ an algebraically closed field.In this paper we establish a connection between cluster algebras and the representation theory of the path algebra $kQ$, in terms of the spectral properties of the quivers mutation equivalent to $Q$.

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 other contexts, from Poisson geometry to triangulations of surfaces and Teichm\"uller theory. In this expository paper we give an introduction to cluster algebras, and illustrate how this framework naturally arises in Teichm\"uller theory. We...

This is the compendium of the cluster algebra and quiver package for sage. The purpose of this package is to provide a platform to work with cluster algebras in graduate courses and to further develop the theory by working on examples, by gathering data, and by exhibiting and testing conjectures. In this compendium, we include the relevant theory to introduce the reader to cluster algebras assuming no prior background; this exposition has been written to be accessible to an i...

We survey some recent constructions of cluster algebra structures on coordinate rings of unipotent subgroups and unipotent cells of Kac-Moody groups. We also review a quantized version of these results.

This is Addendum to ``Structure of seeds in generalized cluster algebras'', Pacific J. Math. {277} (2015), 201--218. We extend the class of generalized cluster algebras studied therein to embrace examples in some applications.

We apply our previous work on cluster characters for Hom-infinite cluster categories to the theory of cluster algebras. We give a new proof of Conjectures 5.4, 6.13, 7.2, 7.10 and 7.12 of Fomin and Zelevinsky's Cluster algebras IV for skew-symmetric cluster algebras. We also construct an explicit bijection sending certain objects of the cluster category to the decorated representations of Derksen, Weyman and Zelevinsky, and show that it is compatible with mutations in both se...
