A monthly online seminar to try and keep up with cluster developments
Welcome to the website of the Cluster Colloquium!
On the 9-th of October 2025, at 17:00 CET we have resumed activities. The second Thursday of every month, we have guest speakers delivering one-hour online talks on current research topics related to cluster algebras and cluster varieties.
Abstract. Quiver mutations form the combinatorial backbone of the theory of cluster algebras. In joint work with Scott Neville, we develop an approach to quiver combinatorics based on endowing a quiver with additional combinatorial structure: a cyclic ordering of its vertices. This structure, which naturally arises in many important applications, gives rise to new powerful mutation invariants.
