Skein Relations in Punctured Surface Cluster Algebras
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Introduces skein-type identities for cluster algebras on punctured surfaces.
- •Develops a combinatorial-algebraic framework relating loop graphs to representations.
- •Enables the construction of bases with positivity and compatibility conditions.
- •Extends existing work by incorporating punctures in the interior of the surface.
“The paper introduces skein-type identities expressing cluster variables associated with incompatible curves on a surface in terms of cluster variables corresponding to compatible arcs.”
