Our formula simplifies the cluster expansion formula given by Musiker-Schiffler-Williams in terms of perfect matchings of snake graphs. A key point of our proof is to give a bijection between perfect matchings of angles in some triangulated polygon and perfect matchings of the corresponding snake graph. Moreover, they also correspond bijectively with perfect matchings of the corresponding bipartite graph and minimal cuts of the corresponding quiver with potential.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-05T06:46:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13F60", "05C70", "05E15" ], "keywords": [ "combinatorial cluster expansion formulas", "perfect matchings", "triangulated surfaces", "principal coefficients", "corresponding snake graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
