Contribution
It establishes the initial framework and fundamental properties of cluster algebras, providing a basis for further research in algebraic and geometric applications.
Findings
Defined the structure of cluster algebras
Connected cluster algebras to dual canonical bases
Laid groundwork for total positivity studies
Abstract
In an attempt to create an algebraic framework for dual canonical bases and total positivity in semisimple groups, we initiate the study of a new class of commutative algebras.
