Cluster algebras and Grassmannians of type \(G _{2}\) (Q975351)

Let \(G\) be a simple algebraic group of type \(G_2\) over the complex numbers and let \(N^-\) be the negative unipotent radical. The author considers the algebra \(\mathcal A\) of \(N^-\)-invariant functions on \(G\) which can be written as a direct sum of the irreducible finite dimensional highest weight representations of \(G\) which are parametrized by nonnegative integer combinations of the fundamental weights, \(\omega_1\) and \(\omega_2\). For \(i=1,2\), the direct sum of the representations parametrized by multiples of \(\omega_i\) forms a subalgebra \({\mathcal A}_i\) of \(\mathcal A\). The article constructs cluster algebra structures on the \({\mathcal A}_i\) using elementary operations starting from the cluster structure of \({\mathcal A}\). It further shows that this construction agrees with that of \textit{C. Geiss, B. Leclerc} and \textit{J. Schröer} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 58, No. 3, 825--876 (2008; Zbl 1151.16009)].
