The period conjecture for Laurent polynomials

Let f,g\typicallyf,g\typically be Laurent polynomials in two variables, and let

πf(t)=d0const(fd)td\pi_f(t)=\sum_{d\geq 0}\operatorname{const}(f^d)t^d

and similarly for gg denote their classical periods. Two Laurent polynomials are mutation equivalent if a composition of algebraic mutations relates them. The period conjecture. If

πf(t)=πg(t),\pi_f(t)=\pi_g(t),

then ff and gg are mutation equivalent. This conjecture predicts that equality of classical periods accounts for the known equivalence of mirror Laurent polynomials; it is proved in the paper for normalized maximally mutable Laurent polynomials whose Newton polygons are TT-polygons, but is not established in the stated generality.
