Cluster realization of \(\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{g})\) and factorizations of the universal \(R\)-matrix (Q1618276)

Given a simple, finite dimensional, complex Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\), the paper under review constructs an embedding of the corresponding quantum algebra \(U_q(\mathfrak{g})\) into a certain quantum torus algebra \(\mathcal{D}_\mathfrak{g}\) (modulo some central elements). The algebra \(\mathcal{D}_\mathfrak{g}\) has the associated quiver which is shown to be related, via mutations, to quivers describing the cluster structure of the moduli space of framed local system on a disk with 3 marked points on its boundary. Additionally, the paper provides a factorization of the universal \(R\)-matrix into quantum dilogarithms of cluster monomials, and interprets the conjugation by the R-matrix in terms of a sequence of quiver mutations.
