Cluster algebras and binary words
Abstract.
We establish a connection between binary subwords and perfect matchings of a snake graph, an important tool in the theory of cluster algebras. Every binary expansion w can be associated to a piecewise-linear poset P and a snake graph G. We describe bijections from the subwords of w to the antichains of P and to the perfect matchings of G. We also construct a tree structure called the antichain trie which is isomorphic to the trie of subwords introduced by Leroy, Rigo, and Stipulanti.
