The cluster-algebra tropical fan conjecture
Let be a cluster algebra of finite type over , let be its coefficient-variable set, and let be its associated cluster complex. Consider the positive tropical variety and its lineality space.
Tropical fan conjecture. If the lineality space of has dimension , then the quotient of by its lineality space is a simplicial fan abstractly isomorphic to the cone over . If this dimension condition does not hold, the resulting fan is a coarsening of the cone over .
This conjecture proposes that using enough coefficient variables recovers the full cluster complex from the positive tropical variety, while insufficient coefficients produce a coarsening. The statement is motivated by the finite-type Grassmannian examples and by the observed failure for the coefficient-specialized cluster algebra of ; its general status is not established in the supplied source.
