Positivity conjecture for graph LP algebras

Let AΓ{\mathcal A}_\Gamma be a graph LP algebra and let tSt_{\mathcal S} be a seed. Write L(tS){\mathcal L}(t_{\mathcal S}) for the Laurent polynomial ring associated with this seed. Positivity conjecture.

  1. All exchange polynomials FiF_i of tSt_{\mathcal S} are positive polynomials in L(tS){\mathcal L}(t_{\mathcal S}).
  2. Any cluster variable of AΓ{\mathcal A}_\Gamma has positive coefficients when written as a Laurent polynomial in L(tS){\mathcal L}(t_{\mathcal S}).

The second assertion is Laurent by the Laurent phenomenon, implies the first assertion, and is known for the initial seed; computations in the paper support the conjecture. A combinatorial interpretation of the coefficients is posed separately as an open problem.
