Description
Cluster duality predicts deep connections between cluster varieties, theta functions, and positivity phenomena. In this talk, I will discuss a generalized version of this picture through skein algebras associated with surfaces, especially in the frameworks of Muller and Le–Roger–Yang. A central theme will be the role of bracelet-type elements, which are expected to form positive bases and to satisfy quantum positivity. This is joint work in progress with Min Huang and Zhihao Wang.
