Cluster algebras, invariant theory, and Kronecker coefficients. I (Q520381)

In the present paper, the author relates the \(m\)-truncated Kronecker products of symmetric functions to the semi-invariant rings of a family of quiver representations. The author finds cluster algebra structures for these semi-invariant rings when \(m=2\). Each \(g\)-vector cone \(G_{\diamond _{l}}\) of these cluster algebras controls the \(2\)-truncated Kronecker products for all symmetric functions of degree not greater than \(l\). As a consequence, each relevant Kronecker coefficient is the difference of the number of the lattice points inside two rational polytopes. The author also gives explicit description of all \(G_{\diamond _{l}}\)'s. As an application, the author computes some invariant rings.
