Cluster Algebras and Related Notions - Kirk Lecture

Explore the interconnected world of cluster algebras and their related mathematical concepts in this Kirk Lecture by Dr. Gordana Todorov from Northeastern University. Delve into a single, illustrative picture that serves as a gateway to understanding various interpretations within the field. Discover key notions from cluster algebras, including cluster variables, clusters, c-vectors, mutations, and maximal green sequences. Investigate related concepts such as cluster categories, cluster tilting objects, semi-invariants, stability conditions, picture groups, exceptional sequences, and rooted trees. Gain insights into the beautiful connections between different areas of mathematics and physics inspired by the introduction of cluster algebras by Fomin and Zelevinsky.
