Abstract: We study the cluster automorphism group Aut(mathcalA) of a coefficient free cluster algebra mathcalA of finite type. A cluster automorphism of mathcalA is a permutation of the cluster variable set mathscrX that is compatible with cluster mutations. We show that, on the one hand, by the well-known correspondence between mathscrX and the almost positive root system Phigeq1 of the corresponding Dynkin type, the piecewise-linear transformations au+ and au on Phigeq1 induce cluster automorphisms f+ and f of mathcalA respectively; on the other hand, excepting type D2n,(ngeqslant2), all the cluster automorphisms of mathcalA are compositions of f+ and f. For a cluster algebra of type D2n,(ngeqslant2), there exists exceptional cluster automorphism induced by a permutation of negative simple roots in Phigeq1, which is not a composition of au+ and au. By using these results and folding a simply laced cluster algebra, we compute the cluster automorphism group for a non-simply laced finite type cluster algebra. As an application, we show that Aut(mathcalA) is isomorphic to the cluster automorphism group of the FZ-universal cluster algebra of mathcalA.
