Fomin–Zelevinsky's tropical formula for g-vectors

From papers

Let Fi;vF_{i;v} be the FF-polynomial associated with the cluster variable xi;vx_{i;v}, and let g(xi;v)=(g1,,gm)\mathbf{g}(x_{i;v})=(g_1,\dots,g_m) be its g-vector. Write u1,,umu_1,\dots,u_m for tropical semifield generators and bsjb_{sj} for the entries of the exchange matrix. Fomin–Zelevinsky's tropical g-vector conjecture. Suppose that Fi;vF_{i;v} is not identically equal to 11. Then

i=1muig~i=Fi;vTrop(u1,,um)(u11,,un1)Fi;vTrop(u1,,um)(s=1musbs1,,s=1musbsn).\prod_{i=1}^m u_i^{\tilde{g}_i}=\dfrac{F_{i;v}|_{\operatorname{Trop}(u_1,\dots,u_m)}(u_1^{-1},\dots,u_n^{-1})}{F_{i;v}|_{\operatorname{Trop}(u_1,\dots,u_m)}(\prod_{s=1}^m u_s^{b_{s1}},\dots,\prod_{s=1}^m u_s^{b_{sn}})}.

Here specialization to Trop(u1,,um)\operatorname{Trop}(u_1,\dots,u_m) means evaluation in the tropical semifield. The statement is attributed to Fomin and Zelevinsky and concerns recovering g-vectors from FF-polynomials; its resolution is not established by the supplied text.
