Cluster algebra structure conjecture for braid varieties

About 5 years old · traced to

Let η\eta be a braid word and let X(η)X(\eta) denote the corresponding braid variety. A cluster algebra structure conjecture asserts that the coordinate ring of any braid variety X(η)X(\eta) admits a structure of a cluster algebra. The exchange type of the mutable part of its defining quiver is preserved under Reidemeister II moves, Reidemeister III moves, and Δ\Delta-conjugations of the braid word η\eta. In addition, each such move gives rise to a quasi-cluster transformation. A positive stabilization adds one frozen vertex to the defining quiver, and a positive destabilization specializes one frozen variable to 11. These claims are part of the paper's conjectural program relating braid varieties to cluster structures; the supplied passage does not state that they have been proved or refuted.
