Symmetric mutations algebras in the context of sub-cluster algebras

Abstract

For a rooted cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}(Q)$ over a valued quiver $Q$, a \emph{symmetric cluster variable} is any cluster variable belonging to a cluster associated with a quiver $\sigma (Q)$, for some permutation $\sigma$. The subalgebra of $\mathcal{A}(Q)$ generated by all symmetric cluster variables is called the \emph{symmetric mutation subalgebra} and is denoted by $\mathcal{B}(Q)$. In this paper we identify the class of cluster algebras that satisfy $\mathcal{B}(Q)=\mathcal{A}(Q)$, which contains almost every quiver of finite mutation type. In the process of proving the main theorem, we provide a classification of quivers mutation classes based on their weights. Some properties of symmetric mutation subalgebras are given.
