Cluster X-varieties at infinity

A positive space is a space with a positive atlas, i.e. a collection of rational coordinate systems with subtraction free transition functions. The set of positive real points of a positive space is well defined. We define a tropical compactification of the latter. We show that it generalizes the Thurston compactification of a Teichmuller space. The tropical boundary of a positive space is a sphere with a piecewise linear structure. Cluster X-varieties are positive spaces of rather special type. We define special completions of cluster X-varieties. They have a stratification whose strata are (affine closures of) cluster X-varieties. The original coordinate tori extend to coordinate affine spaces in the completion. We define completions of Teichmuller spaces for surfaces with marked points at the boundary. The set of positive points of the special completion of the corresponding cluster X-variety is a part of the completion of the Teichmuller space.

Inverse spectral problem for GK integrable system

A.Goncharov and R.Kenyon has defined a class of integrable system on a cluster varieties constructed out of a Newton polygon on the plane. In the present note we show that thiest cluster varieties coincides with the configuration spaces of collections of complete flags in an infinite dimensional space invariant with respect to two commuting operators. We use this interpretation to give explicit solution for these integrable systems in terms of theta-functions.

Loop groups, Clusters, Dimers and Integrable systems

We describe a class of integrable systems on Poisson submanifolds of the affine Poisson-Lie groups $\widehat{PGL}(N)$, which can be enumerated by cyclically irreducible elements the co-extended affine Weyl groups $(\widehat{W}\times \widehat{W})^\sharp$. Their phase spaces admit cluster coordinates, whereas the integrals of motion are cluster functions. We show, that this class of integrable systems coincides with the constructed by Goncharov and Kenyon out of dimer models on a two-dimensional torus and classified by the Newton polygons. We construct the correspondence between the Weyl group elements and polygons, demonstrating that each particular integrable model admits infinitely many realisations on the Poisson-Lie groups. We also discuss the particular examples, including the relativistic Toda chains and the Schwartz-Ovsienko-Tabachnikov pentagram map.

Cluster ensembles, quantization and the dilogarithm

Cluster ensemble is a pair of positive spaces (X, A) related by a map p: A -> X. It generalizes cluster algebras of Fomin and Zelevinsky, which are related to the A-space. We develope general properties of cluster ensembles, including its group of symmetries - the cluster modular group, and a relation with the motivic dilogarithm. We define a q-deformation of the X-space. Formulate general duality conjectures regarding canonical bases in the cluster ensemble context. We support them by constructing the canonical pairing in the finite type case. Interesting examples of cluster ensembles are provided the higher Teichmuller theory, that is by the pair of moduli spaces corresponding to a split reductive group G and a surface S defined in math.AG/0311149. We suggest that cluster ensembles provide a natural framework for higher quantum Teichmuller theory.

Cosh-Gordon equation and quasi-Fuchsian groups

We show a few propositions in favour of relations between the phase space of 3D gravity, moduli of quasi-Fuchsian groups, global solutions of cosh-Gordon equations and minimal surfaces in hyperbolic spaces.

The quantum dilogarithm and representations quantum cluster varieties

We construct, using the quantum dilogarithm, a series of *-representations of quantized cluster varieties. This includes a construction of infinite dimensional unitary projective representations of their discrete symmetry groups - the cluster modular groups. The examples of the latter include the classical mapping class groups of punctured surfaces. One of applications is quantization of higher Teichmuller spaces. The constructed unitary representations can be viewed as analogs of the Weil representation. In both cases representations are given by integral operators. Their kernels in our case are the quantum dilogarithms. We introduce the symplectic/quantum double of cluster varieties and related them to the representations.

Moduli spaces of local systems and higher Teichmuller theory

Let G be a split semisimple algebraic group with trivial center. Let S be a compact oriented surface, with or without boundary. We define {\it positive} representations of the fundamental group of S to G(R), construct explicitly all positive representations, and prove that they are faithful, discrete, and positive hyperbolic; the moduli space of positive representations is a topologically trivial open domain in the space of all representations. When S have holes, we defined two moduli spaces closely related to the moduli spaces of G-local systems on S. We show that they carry a lot of interesting structures. In particular we define a distinguished collection of coordinate systems, equivariant under the action of the mapping class group of S. We prove that their transition functions are subtraction free. Thus we have positive structures on these moduli spaces. Therefore we can take their points with values in any positive semifield. Their positive real points provide the two higher Teichmuller spaces related to G and S, while the points with values in the tropical semifields provide the lamination spaces. We define the motivic avatar of the Weil-Petersson form for one of these spaces. It is related to the motivic dilogarithm.

Moduli spaces of convex projective structures on surfaces

We define convex projective structures on 2D surfaces with holes and investigate their moduli space. We prove that this moduli space is canonically identified with the higher Teichmuller space for the group PSL_3 defined in our paper math/0311149. We define the quantum version of the moduli space of convex projective structures on surfaces with holes. The present paper can serve as an introduction to math/0311149. In the Appendix we show that the space of configurations of 5 flags in the projective plane is of cluster type E_7.

Cluster X-varieties, amalgamation and Poisson-Lie groups

Starting from a split semisimple real Lie group G with trivial center, we define a family of varieties with additional structures. We describe them as the cluster X-varieties, as defined in math.AG/0311245. In particular they are Poisson varieties. We define Poisson maps of them to the group G with the standard Poisson-Lie structure. We introduce an operation of amalgamation of cluster varieties. Our varieties are amalgamations of elementary ones, assigned to positive simple roots of the root system of G. Some of them are very closely related to the double Bruhat cells. This paper is a building block in a description of the cluster structure of the moduli spaces of local systems on surfaces studied in math.AG/0311149.

Dual Teichmuller and lamination spaces

We survey explicit coordinate descriptions for two (A and X) versions of Teichmuller and lamination spaces for open 2D surfaces, and extend them to the more general set-up of surfaces with distinguished collections of points on the boundary. Main features, such as mapping class group action, Poisson and symplectic structures and others, are described in these terms. The lamination spaces are interpreted as the tropical limits of the Teichmuller ones. Canonical pairings between lamination and Teichmuller spaces are constructed. The paper could serve as an introduction to higher Teichmuller theory developed by the authors in math.AG/0311149, math.AG/0311245.

Dual Teichm\" uller spaces

We describe in elementary geometrical terms Teichm\" uller spaces of decorated and holed surfaces. We construct explicit global coordinates on them as well as on the spaces of measured laminations with compact and closed support respectively. We show explicitly that the latter spaces are asymptotically isomorphic to the former. We discuss briefly quantisation of Teichm\" uller spaces and some other application of the constructed approach. The paper does not require any preliminary knowledge of the subject above the Poincar\' e uniformisation theorem.

Poisson structure on moduli of flat connections on Riemann surfaces and $r$-matrix

We consider the space of graph connections (lattice gauge fields) which can be endowed with a Poisson structure in terms of a ciliated fat graph. (A ciliated fat graph is a graph with a fixed linear order of ends of edges at each vertex.) Our aim is however to study the Poisson structure on the moduli space of locally flat vector bundles on a Riemann surface with holes (i.e. with boundary). It is shown that this moduli space can be obtained as a quotient of the space of graph connections by the Poisson action of a lattice gauge group endowed with a Poisson-Lie structure. The present paper contains as a part an updated version of a 1992 preprint ITEP-72-92 which we decided still deserves publishing. We have removed some obsolete inessential remarks and added some newer ones.

Description of moduli space of projective structures via fat graphs

We give an elementary explicit construction of cell decomposition of the moduli space of projective structures on a two dimensional surface analogous to the decomposition of Penner/Strebel for moduli space of complex structures. The relations between projective structures and $PGL(2,{\bf C})$ flat connections are also described. (in the revised version uuencoded pictures are made printable)
