We study the relations between two groups related to cluster automorphism groups which are defined by Assem, Schiffler and Shamchenko. We establish the relationships among (strict) direct cluster automorphism groups and those groups consisting of periodicities of labeled seeds and exchange matrices, respectively, in the language of short exact sequences. As an application, we characterize automorphism-finite cluster algebras in the cases of bipartite seeds or finite mutation type. Finally, we study the relation between the group [Formula: see text] for a cluster algebra [Formula: see text] and the group [Formula: see text] for a mutation group [Formula: see text] and a labeled mutation class [Formula: see text], and we give a negative answer via counter-examples to King and Pressland's problem.

Abstract We notice a remarkable connection between the Bazhanov-Sergeev solution of Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation and certain well-known cluster algebra expression. The tetrahedron transformation is then identified with a sequence of four mutations. As an application of the new formalism, we show how to construct an integrable system with the spectral curve with arbitrary symmetric Newton polygon. Finally, we embed this integrable system into the double Bruhat cell of a Poisson-Lie group, show how triangular decomposition can be used to extend our approach to the general non-symmetric Newton polygons, and prove the Lemma which classifies conjugacy classes in double affine Weyl groups of A-type by decorated Newton polygons.

Abstract We study cluster algebras for some all-loop Feynman integrals, including box-ladder, penta-box-ladder, and double-penta-ladder integrals. In addition to the well-known box ladder whose symbol alphabet is $$ {D}_2\simeq {A}_1^2 $$ D 2 ≃ A 1 2 , we show that penta-box ladder has an alphabet of D3 ≃ A3 and provide strong evidence that the alphabet of seven-point double-penta ladders can be identified with a D4 cluster algebra. We relate the symbol letters to the u variables of cluster configuration space, which provide a gauge-invariant description of the cluster algebra, and we find various sub-algebras associated with limits of the integrals. We comment on constraints similar to extended-Steinmann relations or cluster adjacency conditions on cluster function spaces. Our study of the symbol and alphabet is based on the recently proposed Wilson-loop d log representation, which allows us to predict higher-loop alphabet recursively; by applying it to certain eight-point and nine-point double-penta ladders, we also find D5 and D6 cluster functions respectively.

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.

We prove that any skew-symmetrizable cluster algebra is unistructural, which is a conjecture by Assem, Schiffler and Shramchenko. As a corollary, we obtain that a cluster automorphism of a cluster algebra ${\mathcal{A}}({\mathcal{S}})$ is just an automorphism of the ambient field ${\mathcal{F}}$ which restricts to a permutation of the cluster variables of ${\mathcal{A}}({\mathcal{S}})$.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce a notion of unistructural cluster algebras, for which the set of cluster variables uniquely determines the clusters, as well as the notion of weak unistructural cluster algebras, for which the set of cluster variables determines the clusters, provided that the type of the cluster algebra is fixed. We prove that, for cluster algebras of the Dynkin type, the two notions of unistructural and weakly unistructural coincide, and that cluster algebras of rank 2 are always unistructural. We then prove that a cluster algebra $\mathcal A$ is weakly unistructural if and only if any automorphism of the ambient field, which restricts to a permutation of cluster variables of $\mathcal A$, is a cluster automorphism. We also investigate the Fomin-Zelevinsky conjecture that two cluster variables are compatible if and only if one does not appear in the denominator of the Laurent expansions of the other.

Abstract We propose that the symbol alphabet for classes of planar, dual-conformal-invariant Feynman integrals can be obtained as truncated cluster algebras purely from their kinematics, which correspond to boundaries of (compactifications of) G+(4, n)/T for the n-particle massless kinematics. For one-, two-, three-mass-easy hexagon kinematics with n = 7, 8, 9, we find finite cluster algebras D4, D5 and D6 respectively, in accordance with previous result on alphabets of these integrals. As the main example, we consider hexagon kinematics with two massive corners on opposite sides and find a truncated affine D4 cluster algebra whose polytopal realization is a co-dimension 4 boundary of that of G+(4, 8)/T with 39 facets; the normal vectors for 38 of them correspond to g-vectors and the remaining one gives a limit ray, which yields an alphabet of 38 rational letters and 5 algebraic ones with the unique four-mass-box square root. We construct the space of integrable symbols with this alphabet and physical first-entry conditions, whose dimension can be reduced using conditions from a truncated version of cluster adjacency. Already at weight 4, by imposing last-entry conditions inspired by the n = 8 double-pentagon integral, we are able to uniquely determine an integrable symbol that gives the algebraic part of the most generic double-pentagon integral. Finally, we locate in the space the n = 8 double-pentagon ladder integrals up to four loops using differential equations derived from Wilson-loop d log forms, and we find a remarkable pattern about the appearance of algebraic letters.

AbstractWe construct two bases for each cluster algebra coming from a triangulated surface without punctures. We work in the context of a coefficient system coming from a full-rank exchange matrix, such asprincipal coefficients.

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].
