Speyer–Williams cluster-complex conjecture for finite-type cluster algebras

Let A\mathcal A be a cluster algebra of finite type, let S(A)\mathcal S(\mathcal A) be its associated cluster complex, and let CC denote the relevant cluster-variable set whose cardinality is C|C|. Consider the positive tropicalization Trop+SpecA\operatorname{Trop}^+\operatorname{Spec}\mathcal A. Speyer–Williams conjecture. If the lineality space of Trop+SpecA\operatorname{Trop}^+\operatorname{Spec}\mathcal A has dimension C|C|, then Trop+SpecA\operatorname{Trop}^+\operatorname{Spec}\mathcal A is abstractly isomorphic to the cone over S(A)\mathcal S(\mathcal A). If this lineality-space condition does not hold, the resulting fan is a coarsening of the cone over S(A)\mathcal S(\mathcal A). This conjecture relates positive tropicalizations to cluster complexes and is known in the cases covered by Brodsky and Stump, including the Grassmannian Gr0(3,8)\operatorname{Gr}_0(3,8); the unrestricted finite-type formulation is resolved.
