International audience Given a tree embedded in a disk, we define two lattices - the oriented flip graph of noncrossing arcs and the lattice of noncrossing tree partitions. When the interior vertices of the tree have degree 3, the oriented flip graph is equivalent to the oriented exchange graph of a type A cluster algebra. Our main result is an isomorphism between the shard intersection order of the oriented flip graph and the lattice of noncrossing tree partitions. As a consequence, we deduce a simple characterization of c-matrices of type A cluster algebras.

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.

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.

International audience We extend a $T$-path expansion formula for arcs on an unpunctured surface to the case of arcs on a once-punctured polygon and use this formula to give a combinatorial proof that cluster monomials form the atomic basis of a cluster algebra of type $D$. Nous généralisons une formule de développement en $T$-chemins pour les arcs sur une surface non-perforée aux arcs sur un polygone à une perforation. Nous utilisons cette formule pour donner une preuve combinatoire du fait que les monômes amassées constituent la base atomique d’une algèbre amassée de type $D$.

International audience Shapiro and Chekhov (2011) have introduced the notion of <i>generalised cluster algebra</i>; we focus on an example in type $C_n$. On the other hand, Chari and Pressley (1997), as well as Frenkel and Mukhin (2002), have studied the <i>restricted integral form</i> $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ of a quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ where $q=ε$ is a root of unity. Our main result states that the Grothendieck ring of a tensor subcategory $C_{ε^\mathbb{z}}$ of representations of $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is a generalised cluster algebra of type $C_{l−1}$, where $l$ is the order of $ε^2$. We also state a conjecture for $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_3)$, and sketch a proof for $l=2$. Shapiro et Chekhov (2011) ont introduit la notion d'<i>algèbre amassée généralisée</i>; nous étudions un exemple en type $C_n$. Par ailleurs, Chari et Pressley (1997), ainsi que Frenkel et Mukhin (2002), ont étudié la <i>forme entière restreinte</i> $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ d'une algèbre affine quantique $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ où $q=ε$ est une racine de l'unité. Notre résultat principal affirme que l'anneau de Grothendieck d'une sous-catégorie tensorielle $C_{ε^\mathbb{z}}$ de représentations de $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ est une algèbre amassée généralisée de type $C_{l−1}$, où $l$ est l'ordre de $ε^2$. Nous conjecturons une propriété similaire pour $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_3)$ et donnons un aperçu de la preuve pour $l=2$.

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 $\Sigma$.

International audience The study of Schubert varieties in G/B has led to numerous advances in algebraic combinatorics and algebraic geometry. These varieties are indexed by elements of the corresponding Weyl group, an affine Weyl group, or one of their parabolic quotients. Often times, the goal is to determine which of the algebraic and topological properties of the Schubert variety can be described in terms of the combinatorics of its corresponding Weyl group element. A celebrated example of this occurs when G/B is of type A, due to Lakshmibai and Sandhya. They showed that the smooth Schubert varieties are precisely those indexed by permutations that avoid the patterns 3412 and 4231. Our main result is a characterization of the rationally smooth Schubert varieties corresponding to affine permutations in terms of the patterns 4231 and 3412 and the twisted spiral permutations. L'étude des variétés de Schubert dans G/B a mené à plusieurs avancées en combinatoire algébrique. Ces variétés sont indexées soit par l'élément du groupe de Weyl correspondant, soit par un groupe de Weyl affine, soit par un de leurs quotients paraboliques. Souvent, le but est de déterminer quelles propriétés algébriques et topologiques des variétés de Schubert peuvent être décrites en termes des propriétés combinatoires des éléments du groupe de Weyl correspondant. Un exemple bien connu, dû à Lakshmibai et Sandhya, concerne le cas où G/B est de type A. Ils ont montré que les variétés de Schubert lisses sont exactement celles qui sont indexées par les permutations qui évitent les motifs 3412 et 4231. Notre résultat principal est une caractérisation des variétés de Schubert lisses et rationnelles qui correspondent à des permutations affines pour les motifs 4231 et 3412 et les permutations spirales tordues.

AbstractFomin–Zelevinsky conjectured that in any cluster algebra, the cluster monomials are linearly independent and that the exchange graph and cluster complex are independent of the choice of coefficients. We confirm these conjectures for all skew-symmetric cluster algebras.

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.
