Newton--Okounkov bodies of partial flag varieties via cluster algebras

Abstract

We construct Newton--Okounkov polytopes of Schubert varieties in partial flag varieties of arbitrary type using the cluster structure on a unipotent cell. When the governing cluster algebra is of infinite type, we prove that for any very ample homogeneous line bundle over a simply laced partial flag variety, the resulting family of Newton--Okounkov polytopes contains infinitely many pairwise nonequivalent polytopes up to integral affine transformation. As an application to symplectic geometry, we construct infinitely many distinct monotone Lagrangian tori in a broad class of simply laced partial flag varieties.
