The genus-three cluster-algebra description of the _2-quotient of Teichmller space

Let T3,0{\mathcal T}_{3,0} be the Teichmuller space of flat SL2(C)SL_2(\mathbb C)-connections on a smooth Riemann surface of genus three. Consider the cluster algebra constructed in Section~ from the extended amalgamated quiver for GL4GL_4. For each Z2\mathbb Z_2-invariant geodesic γ\gamma, let GγG_\gamma denote its geodesic function, and let Z+[a1±1/2,,at±1/2]Z_+[a_1^{\pm 1/2},\dots,a_t^{\pm 1/2}] be the relevant positive Laurent polynomial algebra. For MiSL2(C)M_i\in SL_2(\mathbb C), write Ui,j=tr(Mi1Mj)U_{i,j}=\operatorname{tr}(M_i^{-1}M_j). The genus-three cluster-algebra conjecture. This cluster algebra describes the Z2\mathbb Z_2-quotient of T3,0{\mathcal T}_{3,0} in such a way that:

  • every Z2\mathbb Z_2-invariant geodesic γ\gamma corresponds to a geodesic function
GγZ+[a1±1/2,,at±1/2]G_\gamma\in Z_+[a_1^{\pm 1/2},\dots,a_t^{\pm 1/2}]

that is an element of an upper cluster algebra;

  • all constructed GγG_\gamma satisfy the skein relations and the Poisson Goldman bracket;
  • to satisfy the rank condition, which is necessary for Ui,j=tr(Mi1Mj)U_{i,j}=\operatorname{tr}(M_i^{-1}M_j) with MiSL2(C)M_i\in SL_2(\mathbb C), the Casimir must be set to C=1C=-1.

The statement proposes a cluster-algebraic realization of the genus-three Teichmuller space quotient, encoding geodesic functions and their skein and Poisson structures. The supplied text does not indicate whether this assertion has been proved or remains open.
