Positivity conjecture for generalized quantum cluster algebras

Let A(X,h,Λ,B~)\mathcal{A}(X,\mathbf{h},\Lambda,\widetilde{B}) be a generalized quantum cluster algebra with initial extended cluster {X1,,Xm}\{X_1,\ldots,X_m\}. A Laurent polynomial in this cluster has the form f(X1±1,,Xm±1)f(X_1^{\pm1},\ldots,X_m^{\pm1}), and N[q±12,hi,r(q12)]\mathbb{N}[q^{\pm\frac{1}{2}},h_{i,r}(q^{\frac{1}{2}})] denotes the coefficient semiring generated by the indicated parameters. Positivity conjecture. Any cluster variable XX of A(X,h,Λ,B~)\mathcal{A}(X,\mathbf{h},\Lambda,\widetilde{B}) can be expressed as a Laurent polynomial f(X1±1,,Xm±1)f(X_1^{\pm1},\ldots,X_m^{\pm1}) in the initial extended cluster {X1±1,,Xm±1}\{X_1^{\pm1},\ldots,X_m^{\pm1}\} with coefficients belonging to N[q±12,hi,r(q12)]\mathbb{N}[q^{\pm\frac{1}{2}},h_{i,r}(q^{\frac{1}{2}})]. The explicit type G2G_2 expansions preceding the conjecture exhibit this positivity in examples; the conjecture asserts it for every cluster variable of every generalized quantum cluster algebra, while the general claim is not resolved in the supplied source.
