The positivity conjecture for cluster expansions

At least 4 years old · documented by

Fix an initial seed tt, and write the Laurent expansion of a cluster monomial as

X(t′)m=Xg⋅(∑n∈NIufcnYn),X(t')^{m}=X^{g}\cdot\left(\sum_{n\in\mathbb{N}^{I_{\mathsf{uf}}}}c_{n}Y^{n}\right),

where t′t' is a seed, m∈NIm\in\mathbb{N}^{I}, g∈M∘(t)g\in M^\circ(t), and the YY-variables are the associated Laurent monomials. In the quantum case, the coefficients belong to the Laurent polynomial ring in the quantum parameter vv.

Positivity conjecture. The coefficients cnc_n for cluster monomials are contained in N\mathbb{N} in the classical case, or in N[v±]\mathbb{N}[v^{\pm}] in the quantum case.

This is the positivity property expected for cluster expansions and was formulated in the classical setting by Fomin and Zelevinsky, with a quantum analogue expected. The supplied source gives no resolution status.
