Lots of research focuses on the combinatorics behind various bases of cluster algebras. This paper studies the natural basis of a type $A$ cluster algebra, which consists of all cluster monomials. We introduce a new kind of combinatorial formula for the cluster monomials in terms of the so-called globally compatible collections. We give bijective proofs of these formulas by comparing with the well-known combinatorial models of the $T$-paths and of the perfect matchings in a snake diagram. For cluster variables of a type $A$ cluster algebra, we give a bijection that relates our new formula with the theta functions constructed by Gross, Hacking, Keel and Kontsevich.

Abstract Motivated by computational geometry of point configurations on the Euclidean plane, and by the theory of cluster algebras of type $A$, we introduce and study Heronian friezes, the Euclidean analogues of Coxeter’s frieze patterns. We prove that a generic Heronian frieze possesses the glide symmetry (hence is periodic) and establish the appropriate version of the Laurent phenomenon. For a closely related family of Cayley–Menger friezes, we identify an algebraic condition of coherence, which all friezes of geometric origin satisfy. This yields an unambiguous propagation rule for coherent Cayley–Menger friezes, as well as the corresponding periodicity results.

The associahedron is an object that has been well studied and has numerous applications, particularly in the theory of operads, the study of non-crossing partitions, lattice theory and more recently in the study of cluster algebras. We approach the associahedron from the point of view of discrete homotopy theory. We study the abelianization of the discrete fundamental group, and show that it is free abelian of rank [Formula: see text]. We also find a combinatorial description for a basis of this rank. We also introduce the exchange module of the type An cluster algebra, used to model the relations in the cluster algebra. We use the discrete fundamental group to the study of exchange module, and show that it is also free abelian of rank [Formula: see text].

International audience We study Newton polytopes of cluster variables in type $A_n$ cluster algebras, whose cluster and coefficient variables are indexed by the diagonals and boundary segments of a polygon. Our main results include an explicit description of the affine hull and facets of the Newton polytope of the Laurent expansion of any cluster variable, with respect to any cluster. In particular, we show that every Laurent monomial in a Laurent expansion of a type $A$ cluster variable corresponds to a vertex of the Newton polytope. We also describe the face lattice of each Newton polytope via an isomorphism with the lattice of elementary subgraphs of the associated snake graph. Nous étudions polytopes de Newton des variables amassées dans les algèbres amassées de type A, dont les variables sont indexés par les diagonales et les côtés d’un polygone. Nos principaux résultats comprennent une description explicite de l’enveloppe affine et facettes du polytope de Newton du développement de Laurent de toutes variables amassées. En particulier, nous montrons que tout monôme Laurent dans un développement de Laurent de variable amassée de type A correspond à un sommet du polytope de Newton. Nous décrivons aussi le treillis des facesde chaque polytope de Newton via un isomorphisme avec le treillis des sous-graphes élémentaires du “snake graph” qui est associé.

Frieze patterns (in the sense of Conway and Coxeter) are related to cluster algebras of type A and to signed continuant polynomials. In view of studying certain classes of cluster algebras with coefficients, we extend the concept of signed continuant polynomial to define a new family of friezes, called c-friezes, which generalises frieze patterns. Having in mind the cluster algebras of finite type, we identify a necessary and sufficient condition for obtaining periodic c-friezes. Taking into account the Laurent phenomenon and the positivity conjecture, we present ways of generating c-friezes of integers and of positive integers. We also show some specific properties of c-friezes.

We consider the Ptolemy cluster algebras, which are cluster algebras of finite type $A$ (with non-trivial coefficients) that have been described by Fomin and Zelevinsky using triangulations of a regular polygon. Given any seed $\Sigma$ in a Ptolemy cluster algebra, we present a formula for the expansion of an arbitrary cluster variable in terms of the cluster variables of the seed $\Sigma$. Our formula is given in a combinatorial way, using paths on a triangulation of the polygon that corresponds to the seed $\Sigma$.
