      The Weil-Petersson form on an acyclic cluster variety (English)
      0 references
      This paper deals with the Weil-Petersson form on cluster varieties. Let us recall that cluster algebras are commutative algebras, first introduced by \textit{S. Fomin} and \textit{A. Zelevinsky} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 15, No. 2, 497--529 (2002; Zbl 1021.16017)]. A natural question about cluster varieties is to know whether the Weil-Petersson form can be extended to the entire cluster variety. In this work, the author proves that the answer is affirmative for a large class of cluster varieties, called the acyclic cluster varieties. More precisely, for these varieties, the form extends to a regular Kähler 2-form. In the case of a smooth variety, it is showed that the form extends to a differential 2-form, defined everywhere. Several acyclic examples as well as interesting counterexamples are given.
