Cluster algebras: Notes for the CDM-03 conference

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...

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. It soon turned out that the combinatorics of cluster algebras also appear in many other subjects and notably in the representation theory of quivers and finite-dimensional algebras. In this talk, we give a concise introduction to cluster alg...

In the theory of generalized cluster algebras, we build the so-called cluster formula and $D$-matrix pattern. Then as applications, some fundamental conjectures of generalized cluster algebras are solved affirmatively.

This article is an extended version of the minicourse given by the second author at the summer school of the conference "Interactions of quantum affine algebras with cluster algebras, current algebras and categorification", held in June 2018 in Washington. The aim of the minicourse, consisting of three lectures, was to present a number of results and conjectures on certain monoidal categories of finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras, obtained by exploi...

The article concerns the existence and uniqueness of quantisations of cluster algebras. We prove that cluster algebras with an initial exchange matrix of full rank admit a quantisation in the sense of Berenstein-Zelevinsky and give an explicit generating set to construct all quantisations.

We provide a complete classification of the singularities of cluster algebras of finite cluster type. This extends our previous work about the case of trivial coefficients. Additionally, we classify the singularities of cluster algebras for rank two.

In this paper we introduce $F$-invariant in cluster algebras using tropicalization, which is an analog of the $E$-invariant introduced by Derksen-Weyman-Zelevinsky in the additive categorification of cluster algebras and the $\mathfrak{d}$-invariant introduced by Kang-Kashiwara-Kim-Oh in the monoidal categorification of (quantum) cluster algebras.

These are lecture notes from a mini-course given at the CIMPA in Mar del Plata, Argentina, in March 2016. The aim of the course was to introduce cluster characters for 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories and present their main properties. The notes start with the theory of F-polynomials of modules over finite-dimensional algebras. Cluster categories are then introduced, before the more general setting of 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories with cluster-tilting objects is de...

We develop an elementary formula for certain non-trivial elements of upper cluster algebras. These elements have positive coefficients. We show that when the cluster algebra is acyclic these elements form a basis. Using this formula, we show that each non-acyclic skew-symmetric cluster algebra of rank 3 is properly contained in its upper cluster algebra.

In the cluster algebra literature, the notion of a graded cluster algebra has been implicit since the origin of the subject. In this work, we wish to bring this aspect of cluster algebra theory to the foreground and promote its study. We transfer a definition of Gekhtman, Shapiro and Vainshtein to the algebraic setting, yielding the notion of a multi-graded cluster algebra. We then study gradings for finite type cluster algebras without coefficients, giving a full classific...
