Abstract: A cluster algebra is an algebraic structure generated by operations of a quiver (a directed graph) called the mutations and their associated simple birational mappings. By using a graph-combinatorial approach, we present a systematic way to derive a tropical, i.e. subtraction-free birational, representation of Weyl groups from cluster algebras. Our result provides a broad class of Weyl group actions including previously known examples acting on certain rational varieties [28, 30] and hence it is relevant to q-Painleve equations and their higher-order extensions. Key ingredients of the argument are the combinatorial aspects of the reflection associated with a cycle subgraph in the quiver. We also discuss symplectic structures of the discrete dynamical systems thus obtained.
