The denominator-vector conjecture for cluster variables

About 20 years old · traced to

Let A\mathcal{A} be a cluster algebra with initial seed at t0t_0, initial cluster (x1;t0,…,xn;t0)(x_{1;t_0},\dots,x_{n;t_0}), and let dℓ;tB0;t0=(d1,…,dn)\mathbf{d}_{\ell;t}^{B^0;t_0}=(d_1,\dots,d_n) be the denominator vector of a cluster variable xℓ;tx_{\ell;t} not in the initial cluster. Denominator-vector conjecture. (1) Every did_i is nonnegative. (2) di=0d_i=0 if and only if some cluster contains both xℓ;tx_{\ell;t} and xi;t0x_{i;t_0}. (3) Each did_i depends only on xℓ;tx_{\ell;t} and xi;t0x_{i;t_0}, not on t0t_0 or tt. The conjecture is proved for finite type in the cited results, but is open for general cluster algebras.
