چکیده
We study cluster algebras with principal coefficient systems that are associated to unpunctured surfaces. We give a direct formula for the Laurent polynomial expansion of cluster variables in these cluster algebras in terms of perfect matchings of a certain graph GT,γ that is constructed from the surface by recursive glueing of elementary pieces that we call tiles. We also give a second formula for these Laurent polynomial expansions in terms of subgraphs of the graph GT,γ . Résumé. Nous etudions des algebres amassees avec coefficients principaux associees aux surfaces. Nous presentons une formule directe pour les developpements de Laurent des variables amassees dans ces algebres en terme de couplages parfaits d’un certain graphe GT,γ que l’on construit a partir de la surface en recollant des pieces elementaires que l’on appelle carreaux. Nous donnons aussi une seconde formule pour ces developpements en termes de sous-graphes de GT,γ .

On Cluster Algebras Arising from Unpunctured Surfaces Ii
We study cluster algebras with principal and arbitrary coefficient systems that are associated to unpunctured surfaces. We give a direct formula for the Laurent polynomial expansion of cluster variables in these cluster algebras in terms of certain paths on a triangulation of the surface. As an immediate consequence, we prove the positivity conjecture of Fomin and Zelevinsky for these cluster a...

متن کاملT - Path Formula and Atomic Bases for Cluster Algebras of Type D ?
We extend a T -path expansion formula for arcs on an unpunctured surface to the case of arcs on a once-punctured polygon and use this formula to give a combinatorial proof that cluster monomials form the atomic basis of a cluster algebra of type D.
متن کاملCoxeter groups , quiver mutations and geometric manifolds Anna
We construct finite volume hyperbolic manifolds with large symmetry groups. The construction makes use of the presentations of finite Coxeter groups provided by Barot and Marsh and involves mutations of quivers and diagrams defined in the theory of cluster algebras. We generalize our construction by assigning to every quiver or diagram of finite or affine type a CW-complex with a proper action ...
