Cluster algebras arising from cluster tubes II: the Caldero-Chapoton map

TL;DR

This paper extends the Caldero-Chapoton map to cluster algebras from cluster tubes, establishing a bijection between indecomposable rigid objects and cluster variables, and explores associated geometric actions.

Contribution

It introduces an analogue Caldero-Chapoton map for cluster tubes and proves its bijection property with cluster variables, advancing the understanding of cluster algebra structures.

Findings

The Caldero-Chapoton map provides a bijection between rigid objects and cluster variables.

Grassmanians of locally free submodules admit a non-trivial $ ext{C}^ imes$-action.

The construction links algebraic and geometric aspects of cluster algebras.

Abstract

We continue our investigation on cluster algebras arising from cluster tubes. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a cluster tube of rank $n+1$. For an arbitrary basic maximal rigid object $T$ of $\mathcal{C}$, one may associate a skew-symmetrizable integer matrix $B_T$ and hence a cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}(B_T)$ to $T$. We define an analogue Caldero-Chapoton map $\mathbb{X}_M^T$ for each indecomposable rigid object $M\in \mathcal{C}$ and prove that $\mathbb{X}_?^T$ yields a bijection between the indecomposable rigid objects of $\mathcal{C}$ and the cluster variables of the cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}(B_T)$. The construction of the Caldero-Chapoton map involves Grassmanians of locally free submodules over the endomorphism algebra of $T$. We also show that there is a non-trivial $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$-action on the Grassmanians of locally free submodules, which is of independent interest.
