We give a cluster expansion formula for cluster algebras with principal coefficients defined from triangulated surfaces in terms of maximal independent sets of angles. Our formula simplifies the cluster expansion formula given by Musiker, Schiffler and Williams in terms of perfect matchings of snake graphs. A key point of our proof is to give a bijection between maximal independent sets of angles in some triangulated polygon and perfect matchings of the corresponding snake graph. Moreover, they also correspond bijectively with perfect matchings of the corresponding bipartite graph and minimal cuts of the corresponding quiver with potential.

International audience In this paper we give a graph theoretic combinatorial interpretation for the cluster variables that arise in most cluster algebras of finite type. In particular, we provide a family of graphs such that a weighted enumeration of their perfect matchings encodes the numerator of the associated Laurent polynomial while decompositions of the graphs correspond to the denominator. This complements recent work by Schiffler and Carroll-Price for a cluster expansion formula for the $A_n$ case while providing a novel interpretation for the $B_n$, $C_n$, and $D_n$ cases. Dans cet article nous donnons une interprétation combinatoire en termes de théorie des graphes pour les variables de clusters qui apparaissent dans la plupart des algèbres à clusters de type fini. En particulier, nous décrivons une famille de graphes tels qu'une énumération pondérée de leurs matchings parfaits encode le numérateur du polynôme de Laurent associé, tandis que les décompositions du graphe correspondent au dénominateur. Ceci complète les récents travaux de Schiffler et Carroll-Price qui donnent une formule pour le développement d'une variable de cluster dans le cas $A_n$, tout en fournissant une nouvelle interprétation dans les cas $B_n$, $C_n$ et $D_n$.

Cluster Variable

We consider the Ptolemy cluster algebras, which are cluster algebras of finite type $A$ (with non-trivial coefficients) that have been described by Fomin and Zelevinsky using triangulations of a regular polygon. Given any seed $\Sigma$ in a Ptolemy cluster algebra, we present a formula for the expansion of an arbitrary cluster variable in terms of the cluster variables of the seed $\Sigma$. Our formula is given in a combinatorial way, using paths on a triangulation of the polygon that corresponds to the seed $\Sigma$.

Correlation Inequality

Let $\hom(H,G)$ denote the number of homomorphisms from a graph $H$ to a graph $G$. Sidorenko's conjecture asserts that for any bipartite graph $H$, and a graph $G$ we have$$\hom(H,G)\geq v(G)^{v(H)}\left(\frac{\hom(K_2,G)}{v(G)^2}\right)^{e(H)},$$where $v(H),v(G)$ and $e(H),e(G)$ denote the number of vertices and edges of the graph $H$ and $G$, respectively. In this paper we prove Sidorenko's conjecture for certain special graphs $G$: for the complete graph $K_q$ on $q$ vertices, for a $K_2$ with a loop added at one of the end vertices, and for a path on $3$ vertices with a loop added at each vertex. These cases correspond to counting colorings, independent sets and Widom-Rowlinson colorings of a graph $H$. For instance, for a bipartite graph $H$ the number of $q$-colorings $\mathrm{ch}(H,q)$ satisfies$$\mathrm{ch}(H,q)\geq q^{v(H)}\left(\frac{q-1}{q}\right)^{e(H)}.$$In fact, we will prove that in the last two cases (independent sets and Widom-Rowlinson colorings) the graph $H$ does not need to be bipartite. In all cases, we first prove a certain correlation inequality which implies Sidorenko's conjecture in a stronger form.

Pfaffian Graph

A graph $G$ with a perfect matching is Pfaffian if it admits an orientation $D$ such that every central cycle $C$ (i.e. $C$ is of even size and $G-V(C)$ has a perfect matching) has an odd number of edges oriented in either direction of the cycle. It is known that the number of perfect matchings of a Pfaffian graph can be computed in polynomial time. In this paper, we show that every embedding of a Pfaffian brace (i.e. 2-extendable bipartite graph)  on a surface with a positive genus has face-width at most 3.  Further, we study Pfaffian cubic braces and obtain a characterization of Pfaffian polyhex graphs: a polyhex graph is Pfaffian if and only if it is either non-bipartite or isomorphic to the cube, or the Heawood graph, or the Cartesian product $C_k\times K_2$ for even integers $k\ge 6$.
