AIM Workshop: Cluster algebras and braid varieties

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the study of cluster algebras and their relation to symplectic geometry, bringing together people with expertise in these two fields. In recent years deep and intriguing connections between these two areas have been discovered, including the existence of cluster structures on moduli spaces of Lagrangian fillings, the cluster compatibility of Poisson structures on wild character varieties, the cluster algebras associated to plane curve singularities, and the cluster nature of spectral networks. This bridge between cluster algebras and symplectic geometry is proving fruitful in both directions and a central aim of the workshop is to crystalize those connections and bring forward further applications.
