Exchange graph conjectures for cluster algebras

About 23 years old · traced to

Let A(S)\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{S}) be a cluster algebra with seed (x~,B~)(\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde B), principal part BB, rank nn, clusters, and exchange graph whose vertices are seeds and whose edges are seed mutations. A cluster variable is an element xx occurring in some cluster, and a seed is acyclic when its exchange matrix BB is acyclic. Exchange graph conjectures. (1) The exchange graph of A(x~,B~)\mathcal{A}(\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde B) depends only on the principal part BB of B~\tilde B. (2) Every seed in S\mathcal{S} is uniquely determined by its cluster; hence two clusters are adjacent if and only if their intersection has cardinality n−1n-1. (3) For any cluster variable xx, the seeds whose clusters contain xx form a connected subgraph. (4) The seeds whose exchange matrix BB is acyclic form a connected subgraph, possibly empty. These statements concern the combinatorial structure of exchange graphs; parts (1)--(3) are known for cluster algebras of finite type and all four are known for classical types, but the general case remains open.
