Upper cluster algebras and choice of ground ring
arXiv:1802.04835 · doi:10.1007/s11425-018-9486-6
Abstract
We initiate a study of the dependence on the choice of ground ring on the question of whether a cluster algebra is equal to its upper cluster algebra. A condition for when there is equality of the cluster algebra and upper cluster algebra is given by using a variation of Muller's theory of cluster localization. An explicit example exhibiting dependence on the ground ring is provided. We also present a maximal green sequence for this example.
