Nathan Reading, NC State, To scatter or to cluster?
SAS 4201Scattering diagrams arose in the algebraic-geometric theory of mirror symmetry. Recently, Gross, Hacking, Keel, and Kontsevich applied scattering diagrams to prove many longstanding conjectures about cluster algebras. Scattering diagrams are certain collections of codimension-1 cones, each weighted with a formal power series. In this talk, I will introduce cluster scattering diagrams and their connection to cluster algebras, focusing on rank-2 (i.e.…
