Cluster characters for cyclic quivers

Abstract

We define an analogue of the Caldero-Chapoton map for the cluster category of finite-dimensional nilpotent representations over a cyclic quiver. We prove that it is a cluster character and satisfies some inductive formulas for the multiplication between the generalized cluster variables (the images of objects of the cluster category under this map). Moreover, we construct a ℤ-basis for the algebra generated by all generalized cluster variables.

Keywords
