One proof is inductive and uses only the mutation rule for $F$-polynomials. The other is based on the Fock-Goncharov decomposition of mutations. We conclude by expanding this product formula as a sum and illustrate applications. This expansion provides an explicit combinatorial computation of $F$-polynomials in a given seed that depends only on the $\\mathbf{c}$-vectors and $\\mathbf{g}$-vectors along a finite sequence of mutations from the initial seed to the given seed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-05-17T22:53:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E16" ], "keywords": [ "polynomials", "product formula", "explicit combinatorial computation", "finite sequence", "mutation rule" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
