Refined tropical curve counts and canonical bases for quantum cluster algebras
Travis Mandel · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2015
We express the (quantizations of the) Gross-Hacking-Keel-Kontsevich canonical bases for cluster algebras in terms of certain (Block-Göttsche) weighted counts of tropical curves. In the process, we obtain via scattering diagram techniques a new invariance result for these Block-Göttsche counts.
