Reading's separation conjecture for cluster variables

About 1 year old · traced to

Let A\mathcal A be a cluster algebra. For cluster variables u=xi;tu=x_{i;t} and u′=xj;t′u'=x_{j;t'}, write gk;usg_{k;u}^s and gk;u′sg_{k;u'}^s for the kkth components of their gg-vectors at a vertex ss of the exchange tree. The variables are sign-coherent when

gk;usgk;u′s≥0g_{k;u}^s g_{k;u'}^s\geq 0

for every vertex ss and every k∈[1,n]k\in[1,n].

Reading's separation conjecture. The variables uu and u′u' are contained in the same cluster if and only if they are sign-coherent.

This reformulates Reading's conjectured separation property for cluster variables in universal geometric cluster algebras. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
