The cluster-variety P=W and PI=WI conjectures

From papers

Let XX be a cluster variety over C{\mathbb{C}}, and write X(M)X(M) for the corresponding character variety. A real Lagrangian fibration is a map

h:XRdimCX.h:X\to {\mathbb{R}}^{\dim_{\mathbb{C}} X}.

P=W and PI=WI conjectures. There exists a real Lagrangian fibration hh such that

PkH(X(M),Q)=W2kH(X(M),Q)=W2k+1H(X(M),Q),k0.P_kH^*(X(M),{\mathbb{Q}})=W_{2k}H^*(X(M),{\mathbb{Q}})=W_{2k+1}H^*(X(M),{\mathbb{Q}}),\qquad k\ge 0.

Moreover, the analogous identity remains true with cohomology replaced by intersection cohomology IH(X,Q)IH^*(X,{\mathbb{Q}}).

These conjectures extend the P=WP=W phenomenon from character varieties to cluster varieties and propose a corresponding statement for intersection cohomology. The supplied material gives no evidence that either assertion has been resolved.
