Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We shall use the Lecture Notes "Root systems and generalized associahedra" (http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~fomin/Papers/rsga15.ps) by Fomin and Reading to learn "cluster combinatorics". This is a young, very attractive research area, which has its origin in the cluster algebras by Fomin and Zelevinsky. Its attractiveness comes from the fruitful interaction of combinatorics, geometry and algebra which defines this area. Moreover, it offers many interesting open questions and problems. Preknowledge in reflection groups and root systems is helpful but not necessary. We will go over the relevant facts at the beginning.
