Monoidal categorifications of cluster algebras

introduction

• replace cluster variables by modules of quantum groups
• motivation comes from Positivity conjecture on cluster algebras

main results

• Hernandez-Leclerc and Nakajima categorified cluster algebras of finite type using Kirillov-Reshetikhin (KR) modules of Quantum affine algebra

monoidal categorification

• $A$ : cluster algebra
• $M$ : monoidal categorify
• $M$ is a monoidal categorification of $A$ if the Grothendieck ring $K_0(M)$ of $M$ is isomorphic to $A$ which induces bijection between

1. cluster monomials of $A$
2. the classes of real simple objects of $M$ where $V$ is real if $V\otimes V$ is simple

• cluster variables of $A$ (including coefficients) corresponds to classes of real prime simple objects

proposition

• Suppose that $A$ has a monoidal categorification $M$ and also that each object $B$ in $M$ has unique finite composition series, (i.e., find simple subobject $A_1$, then simple subobject of $A_2$ of $B/A_1$, etc ... composition series if colleciton of all $A$'s)
• Then

1. each cluster variable of a has positivie Laurent expansion with respect to any cluster
2. cluster monomials are linearly independent
