Nakajima's quiver varieties and triangular bases of rank-2 cluster algebras (Q6052907): Difference between revisions

Fomin-Zelevinsky introduced cluster algebras and Berenstein-Zelevinsky introduced quantum cluster algebras and the triangular bases. One of the main goals of introducing quantum cluster algebras is to understand good bases arising from the representation theory of certain non-associative algebras. Mimicking the construction of the dual canonical basis from a PBW basis, Berenstein and Zelevinsky constructed the triangular basis for acyclic quantum cluster algebras. The triangular basis has many nice properties including (conjecturally) the strong positivity, that is, all structure constants are nonnegative. The support conjecture by Lee-Li-Rupel-Zelevinsky asserts that the support of a triangular basis element for a rank-2 cluster algebra is bounded by an explicitly described region that is possibly concave. L. Li proves the support conjecture for all skew-symmetric rank-2 cluster algebras.
