10 Cluster algebra We call a set of n numbers (x 1,..., x n ) a cluster of rank n. A seed consists of a cluster and an exchange matrix B, i.e. a skew symmetrisable matrix with integer entries. A mutation is a transformation µ i : (x 1, x 2,..., x n ) (x 1, x 2,..., x n), µ i : B B where x i x i = j:b ij >0 x b ij j + j:b ij <0 x b ij j, x j = x j j i. Definition A cluster algebra of rank n is a set of all seeds (x 1,..., x n, B) related to one another by sequences of mutations µ 1,..., µ k. The cluster variables x 1,..., x k are called exchangeable, while x k+1,..., x n are called frozen. [Fomin-Zelevnsky 2002].

13 Teichmüller space For Riemann surfaces with holes: Idea: Hom (π 1 (Σ), PSL 2 (R)) /GL 2 (R). Teichmüller theory for a Riemann surfaces with holes is well understood. Take confluences of holes to obtain cusps. Develop bordered cusped Teichmüller theory asymptotically. This will provide cluster algebra of geometric type

24 Poisson bracket Introduce cusped laminations Compute Poisson brackets between arcs in the cusped lamination. Theorem Given a Riemann surface of any genus, any number of holes and at least one cusp on a boundary, there always exists a complete cusped lamination [Chekhov-M.M. ArXiv: ].

27 Decorated character variety What is the character variety of a Riemann surface with cusps on its boundary? For Riemann surfaces with holes: Hom (π 1 (Σ), PSL 2 (C)) /GL 2 (C). For Riemann surfaces with bordered cusps: Decorated character variety [Chekhov-M.M.-Rubtsov arxiv: ] Replace π 1 (Σ) with the groupoid of all paths γ ij from cusp i to cusp j modulo homotopy. Replace tr by two characters: tr and tr K.

In this case, we have a Riemann surface Σ0,3,2 with two bordered cusps on one hole. The only nontrivial Dehn twist is around the closed geodesic γ encircling these two holes (this Riemann sphere with three holes, and two cusps on one of the geodesic is unique). Its geodesic function Gγ is the Hamiltonian MCG invariant. We now consider the effect of this MCG transformation on the system of arcs in holes. Frozen variables: c, d, e.

33 Conclusion A Riemann surface of genus g, n holes and k cusps on the boundary admits a complete cusped lamination of 6g 6 + 2n + 2k arcs which triangulate it. Any other cusped lamination is obtained by the cluster algebra mutations. By quantisation: quantum cluster algebra of geometric type. New notion of decorated character variety Many thanks for your attention!!!
