Mixed dimer configuration model in type D cluster algebras (Q6042106)

Summary: We define a combinatorial model for \(F\)-polynomials and \(g\)-vectors for type \(D_n\) cluster algebras where the associated quiver is acyclic. Our model utilizes a combination of dimer configurations and double dimer configurations which we refer to as mixed dimer configurations. In particular, we give a graph theoretic recipe that describes which monomials appear in such \(F\)-polynomials, as well as a graph theoretic way to determine the coefficients of each of these monomials. In addition, we prove that a weighting on our mixed dimer configuration model yields the associated \(g\)-vector. To prove this formula, we use a combinatorial formula due to \textit{T. Tran} [``Quantum \(F\)-polynomials in classical types'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:0911.4462}] and provide explicit bijections between her combinatorial model and our own.
