Cluster tubes are $2-$Calabi-Yau triangulated categories which contain no cluster tilting objects, but maximal rigid objects. Fix a certain maximal rigid object $T$ in the cluster tube $\\mathcal{C}_n$ of rank $n$. For any indecomposable rigid object $M$ in $\\mathcal{C}_n$, we define an analogous $X_M$ of Caldero-Chapton's formula (or Palu's cluster character formula) by using the geometric information of $M$. We show that $X_M, X_{M'}$ satisfy the mutation formula when $M,M'$ form an exchange pair, and that $X_{?}: M\\mapsto X_M$ gives a bijection from the set of indecomposable rigid objects in $\\mathcal{C}_n$ to the set of cluster variables of cluster algebra of type $C_{n-1}$, which induces a bijection between the set of basic maximal rigid objects in $\\mathcal{C}_n$ and the set of clusters. This strengths a surprising result proved recently by Buan-Marsh-Vatne that the combinatorics of maximal rigid objects in the cluster tube $\\mathcal{C}_n$ encode the combinatorics of the cluster algebra of type $B_{n-1}$ since the combinatorics of cluster algebras of type $B_{n-1}$ or of type $C_{n-1}$ are the same by a result of Fomin and Zelevinsky. As a consequence, we give a categorification of cluster algebras of type $C$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-29T11:29:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16G20", "16G70" ], "keywords": [ "cluster tube", "cluster algebras arising", "indecomposable rigid object", "palus cluster character formula", "basic maximal rigid objects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1008.3444Z" } } }
