Abstract: We define new coordinates for Fock-Goncharov's higher Teichm"uller spaces for a surface with holes, which are the moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group into a reductive Lie group G. Some additional data on the boundary leads to two closely related moduli spaces, the mathscrX-space and the mathscrA-space, forming a cluster ensemble. Fock and Goncharov gave nice descriptions of the coordinates of these spaces in the cases of G=PGLm and G=SLm, together with Poisson structures. We consider new coordinates for higher Teichm"uller spaces given as ratios of the coordinates of the mathscrA-space for G=SLm, which are generalizations of Kashaev's ratio coordinates in the case m=2. Using Kashaev's quantization for m=2, we suggest a quantization of the system of these new ratio coordinates, which may lead to a new family of projective representations of mapping class groups. These ratio coordinates depend on the choice of an ideal triangulation decorated with a distinguished corner at each triangle, and the key point of the quantization is to guarantee certain consistency under a change of such choices. We prove this consistency for m=3, and for completeness we also give a full proof of the presentation of Kashaev's groupoid of decorated ideal triangulations.
