Fomin–Zelevinsky's denominator conjecture for cluster algebras

Let A\mathcal{A} be a cluster algebra with trivial coefficients, and fix a cluster x=(x1,,xn)\mathbf{x}=(x_1,\dots,x_n). For every cluster monomial zz, write its Laurent expansion uniquely as

z=f(x1,,xn)x1d1xndn,z=\frac{f(x_1,\dots,x_n)}{x_1^{d_1}\cdots x_n^{d_n}},

where d1,,dnZd_1,\dots,d_n\in\mathbb{Z} and f(x1,,xn)Z[x1,,xn]f(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\dots,x_n] is not divisible by any xix_i. The vector dx(z)=(d1,,dn)d_{\mathbf{x}}(z)=(d_1,\dots,d_n) is called the denominator vector of zz with respect to x\mathbf{x}. Fomin–Zelevinsky's denominator conjecture. Different cluster monomials have different denominator vectors with respect to any given cluster. This conjecture concerns the combinatorial parametrization of cluster monomials by denominator vectors. In the paper's stated context it is disproved: Jiarui Fei found a counterexample.
