1 Introduction

Cluster algebras of rank 119898 are a class of commutative ringsintroduced by [1] Among these algebras one finds coordinaterings of important algebraic varieties like the Grassman-nians and Schubert varieties cluster algebras appear in theTeichmuller theory [2] Unlike the coordinate rings the set ofgenerators 119909

119894of cluster algebra is usually infinite and defined

by induction from a cluster x = (1199091 119909

119898) and a quiver 119876

see [3] for an excellent survey the cluster algebra is denotedby A(x 119876) Notice that A(x 119876) has an additive structureof countable (unperforated) abelian group with an ordersatisfying the Riesz interpolation property see Remark 5 Inother words the cluster algebraA(x 119876) is a dimension groupby the Effros-Handelman-ShenTheorem [4 Theorem 31]

The subject of our paper is an operator algebra A(x 119876)such that 119870

0(A(x 119876)) cong A(x 119876) here 119870

0(A(x 119876)) is the

dimension group of A(x 119876) and cong is an isomorphism ofthe ordered abelian groups [5 Chapter 7] A(x 119876) is anApproximately Finite 119862lowast-algebra (AF-algebra) given by aBratteli diagram derived explicitly from the pair (x 119876) TheAF-algebras were introduced and studied by [6] we refer toA(x 119876) as a cluster 119862lowast-algebra

An exact definition ofA(x 119876) can be found in Section 24to give an idea recall that the pair (x 119876) is called a seed andthe cluster algebra A(x 119876) is generated by seeds obtainedvia mutation of (x 119876) (and its mutants) in all directions 119896where 1 le 119896 le 119898 [3 p 5] The mutation process canbe described by an oriented regular tree T

119898 the vertices of

T119898correspond to the seeds and the outgoing edges to the

mutations in directions 119896 The quotient B(x 119876) of T119898by a

relation identifying equivalent seeds at the same level of T119898

is a graph with cycles (For a quick example of such a graphsee Figure 3)The cluster119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876) is an AF-algebragiven byB(x 119876) regarded as a Bratteli diagram [6]

collection of all Riemann surfaces of genus 119892 with 119899 cuspsendowed with the natural topology [7] In what follows wefocus on the algebras A(x 119876

119892119899) with quivers 119876

119892119899coming

from ideal triangulation of 119878119892119899 the corresponding cluster

algebra A(x 119876119892119899) of rank 119898 = 6119892 minus 6 + 3119899 is related to the

Penner coordinates in 119879119892119899

Ptolemy relations satisfied by the Penner coordinates so farsuch coordinates are available only for the Riemann surfaceswith cusps [7] It is likely that the case 119899 = 0 has also a clusterstructure we refer the reader to [17] where a functor from theRiemann surfaces 119878

Since the entries of matrix 119861 are exponents of the monomialsin cluster variables one gets a new pair (x1015840 1198611015840) where 1198611015840 =(1198871015840

For brevity the pair (x 119861) is called a seed and the seed(x1015840 1198611015840) fl (x1015840 120583

119896(119861)) is obtained from (x 119861) by a mutation

120583119896in the direction 119896 where 1 le 119896 le 119898 120583

119896is involution

that is 1205832119896= 119868119889 The matrix 119861 is called mutation finite if

only finitely many new matrices can be produced from 119861

by repeated matrix mutations The cluster algebra A(x 119861)can be defined as the subring of Q(119909

1 119909

119898) generated by

the union of all cluster variables obtained from the initialseed (x 119861) by mutations of (x 119861) (and its iterations) in allpossible directions We will write T

119898to denote an oriented

tree whose vertices are seeds (x1015840 1198611015840) and 119898 outgoing arrowsin each vertex correspond tomutations 120583

119896of the seed (x1015840 1198611015840)

The Laurent phenomenon proved by [1] says that A(x 119861) subZ[xplusmn1] where Z[xplusmn1] is the ring of the Laurent polynomialsin variables x = (119909

1 119909

119899) in other words each generator

119909119894of algebraA(x 119861) can be written as a Laurent polynomial

in 119899 variables with the integer coefficients

Remark 5 The Laurent phenomenon turns the additivestructure of cluster algebra A(x 119861) into a totally orderedabelian group satisfying the Riesz interpolation property thatis a dimension group [4 Theorem 31] the abelian groupwith order comes from the semigroup of the Laurent poly-nomials with positive coefficients see [19] for the details Abackgroundon the partially and totally ordered unperforatedabelian groups with the Riesz interpolation property can befound in [4]

To deal with mutation formulas (3) and (4) in geometricterms recall that a quiver 119876 is an oriented graph given bythe set of vertices 119876

0and the set of arrows 119876

1 an example of

quiver is given in Figure 1 Let 119896 be a vertex of119876 the mutatedat vertex 119896 quiver 120583

119896(119876) has the same set of vertices as 119876 but

the set of arrows is obtained by the following procedure (i)for each subquiver 119894 rarr 119896 rarr 119895 one adds a new arrow 119894 rarr 119895(ii) one reverses all arrows with source or target 119896 (iii) oneremoves the arrows in a maximal set of pairwise disjoint 2-cycles The reader can verify that if one encodes a quiver 119876with 119899 vertices by a skew-symmetric matrix 119861(119876) = (119887

119894119895)with

119887119894119895equal to the number of arrows from vertex 119894 to vertex 119895

then mutation 120583119896of seed (x 119861) coincides with such of the

corresponding quiver 119876 Thus the cluster algebra A(x 119861) isdefined by a quiver 119876 we will denote such an algebra byA(x 119876)

there are only 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 independent since such numbersmust satisfy 119899 Ptolemy relations (5)

known that matrix 119861119879is always mutation finite The cluster

algebraA(x 119861119879) of rank 6119892 minus 6 + 3119899 is called associated with

triangulation 119879

be a once-punctured torus of Example 1The triangulation119879 of the fundamental domain (R2minusZ2)Z2of 11987811

Theorem 9 (see [2]) The cluster algebra A(x 119861119879) does not

depend on triangulation119879 but only on the surface 119878119892119899 namely

replacement of the geodesic arc 120574119896by a new geodesic arc 1205741015840

119896(a

flip of 120574119896) corresponds to a mutation 120583

Definition 11 By a cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861) one under-stands an AF-algebra given by the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861)of the form

B (x 119861) fl T119898mod ℓ (9)

The rank ofA(x 119861) is equal to such of cluster algebraA(x 119861)

Example 12 If 119861119879is matrix (6) of Example 8 then B(x 119861

119879)

is shown in Figure 3 (We refer the reader to Section 4 for aproof) Notice that the graphB(x 119861

119879) is a part of the Bratteli

diagram of the Mundici algebraM compare [10 Figure 1]

Remark 13 It is not hard to see thatB(x 119861) is no longer a treeand B(x 119861) is a finite graph if and only if A(x 119861) is a finitecluster algebra

3 Proof

Let 119898 = 3(2119892 minus 2 + 119899) be the rank of cluster 119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876

119892119899) For the sake of clarity we will consider the case

119898 = 3 and the general case119898 isin 3 6 9 separately(i) LetA(x 119861

119879) be the cluster119862lowast-algebra of rank 3 In this

case 2119892minus2+119899 = 1 and either119892 = 0 and 119899 = 3 or else119892 = 119899 = 1Since 119879

03cong 119901119905 is trivial we are left with 119892 = 119899 = 1 that is

the once-punctured torus 11987811

Repeating the argument of Example 8 we get the seed(x 119861119879) where x = (119909

1 1199092 1199093) and the skew-symmetric

matrix 119861119879is given by formula (6)

Figure 4 The mutation tree

Let us verify that matrix 119861119879is mutation finite indeed for

each 119896 isin 1 2 3 the matrix mutation formula (4) gives us120583119896(119861119879) = minus119861

119879

Therefore the exchange relations (3) do not vary it isverified directly that such relations have the following form

Consider a mutation tree T3shown in Figure 4 the

vertices of T3correspond to the mutations of cluster x =

(1199091 1199092 1199093) following the exchange rules (10)

The reader is encouraged to verify that modulo a cyclicpermutation of variables 1199091015840

1= 1199092 11990910158402= 1199093 11990910158403= 1199091and

1= 1199093 11990910158402= 1199091 11990910158403= 1199092one obtains (resp) the following

119895(120583119894(x)) there are no other cluster equiva-

lences for the vertices of the same level of graph T3

To determine the graph B(x 119861119879) one needs to take the

quotient of T3by the ℓ-equivalence relations (11) since the

pattern repeats for each level of T3 one gets the B(x 119861

shown in Figure 3 The cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861119879) is an AF-

algebra with the Bratteli diagramB(x 119861119879)

Notice that the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861119879) of our AF-

algebra A(x 119861119879) and such of the Mundici algebra M are

distinct compare [10 Figure 1] yet there is an obviousinclusion of one diagram into another Namely if one erasesa ldquocamelrsquos backrdquo (ie the two extreme sides of the diagram)in the Bratteli diagram of M then one gets exactly thediagram in Figure 3 Formally if G is the Bratteli diagramof the Mundici algebra M the complement G minus B(x 119861

is a hereditary Bratteli diagram which gives rise to an ideal1198680subM such that

a hereditary Bratteli diagram which defines an ideal 119868120579of

Theorem38] (An extra care is required if 120579 = (120579119894) is a rational

vector the complete argument can be found in [9 pp 980ndash985]) Lemma 15 follows

Lemma 16 The sequence of primitive ideals 119868120579119899

converges to119868120579in the Jacobson topology in PrimA(x 119876

119892119899) if and only if the

sequence 120579119899converges to 120579 in the Euclidean space R6119892minus7+2119899

Proof The proof is a straightforward adaption of the argu-ment in [9 pp 986ndash988] we leave it as an exercise to thereader

Let 120590119905 A(x 119876

automorphisms of algebra A(x 119876119892119899) see Section 4 Because

119868120579sub A(x 119876

119892119899) the image 120590119905(119868

120579) of 119868120579is correctly defined

for all 119905 isin R 120590119905(119868120579) is an ideal of A(x 119876

119892119899) but not

necessarily a primitive ideal Since 120590119905is an algebraic form

of the Teichmuller geodesic flow on the space 119879119892119899

[15] oneconcludes that the family of ideals

120590119905(119868120579) sub A (x 119876

can be taken for a coordinate system in the space 119879119892119899

cong

R6119892minus6+2119899 In view of Lemmas 15 and 16 one gets the requiredhomeomorphism

Theorem 2 is proved

4 An Analog of Modular Flow on A(x 119876119892119899)

41 Modular Automorphisms 120590119905| 119905 isin R Recall that the

Ptolemy relations (5) for the Penner coordinates 120582(120574119894) in

the space 119879119892119899

are homogeneous in particular the system119905120582(120574119894) | 119905 isin R of such coordinates will also satisfy the

Ptolemy relations On the other hand for the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) the variables 119909

119894= 120582(120574

119894) and one gets an

obvious isomorphism A(x 119876119892119899) cong A(119905x 119876

119892119899) for all 119905 isin R

Since A(119905x 119876119892119899) sube A(x 119876

119892119899) one obtains a one-parameter

group of automorphisms

120590119905 A (x 119876

119892119899) 997888rarr A (x 119876

119892119899) (24)

By analogy with [21] we will call 120590119905a Tomita-Takesaki flow on

the cluster119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876119892119899)The reader is encouraged to

verify that120590119905is an algebraic formof the geodesic flow119879119905 on the

Teichmuller space 119879119892119899 see [15] for an introduction Roughly

speaking such a flow comes from the one-parameter groupof matrices

) (25)

acting on the space of holomorphic quadratic differentials ontheRiemann surface 119878

119892119899 the latter is known to be isomorphic

to the Teichmuller space 119879119892119899

42 Connes Invariant119879(A(x 119876119892119899)) Recall that an analogy of

theConnes invariant 119879(M) for a119862lowast-algebraM endowedwithamodular automorphism group120590

119905is the set119879(M) fl 119905 isin R |

120590119905is inner [21] The group of inner automorphisms of the

space 119879119892119899

and algebra A(x 119876119892119899) is isomorphic to the map-

ping class group mod 119878119892119899

of surface 119878119892119899 The automorphism

120601 isin mod119878119892119899

is called pseudo-Anosov if 120601(F120583) = 120582

120601F120583

where F120583is invariant measured foliation and 120582

120601gt 1 is

a constant called dilatation of 120601 120582120601is always an algebraic

number of the maximal degree 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 [22] It is knownthat if 120601 isin mod119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov then there exists

a trajectory O of the geodesic flow 119879119905 and a point 119878

119892119899isin

119879119892119899 such that the points 119878

119892119899and 120601(119878

119892119899) belong to O [15]

O is called an axis of the pseudo-Anosov automorphism120601 The axis can be used to calculate the Connes invariant119879(A(x 119876

119892119899)) of the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) indeed in

view of formula (25) one must solve the following system ofequations

120590119905(119909) = 119890

119905

119909

120601 (119909) = 120582120601119909

(26)

for a point 119909 isin O Thus 120590119905(119909) coincides with the inner

automorphism 120601(119909) if and only if 119905 = log 120582120601 Taking all

pseudo-Anosov automorphisms 120601 isin mod119878119892119899 one gets a

formula for the Connes invariant

119879 (A (x 119876119892119899))

= log 120582120601| 120601 isin mod 119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov

(27)

Remark 17 The Connes invariant (27) says that the family ofcluster 119862lowast-algebras A(x 119876

119892119899) is an analog of the type III

Since the entries of matrix 119861 are exponents of the monomialsin cluster variables one gets a new pair (x1015840 1198611015840) where 1198611015840 =(1198871015840

119896(119861)) is obtained from (x 119861) by a mutation

120583119896in the direction 119896 where 1 le 119896 le 119898 120583

119896is involution

that is 1205832119896= 119868119889 The matrix 119861 is called mutation finite if

only finitely many new matrices can be produced from 119861

by repeated matrix mutations The cluster algebra A(x 119861)can be defined as the subring of Q(119909

1 119909

119898) generated by

the union of all cluster variables obtained from the initialseed (x 119861) by mutations of (x 119861) (and its iterations) in allpossible directions We will write T

119898to denote an oriented

tree whose vertices are seeds (x1015840 1198611015840) and 119898 outgoing arrowsin each vertex correspond tomutations 120583

119896of the seed (x1015840 1198611015840)

The Laurent phenomenon proved by [1] says that A(x 119861) subZ[xplusmn1] where Z[xplusmn1] is the ring of the Laurent polynomialsin variables x = (119909

1 119909

119899) in other words each generator

119909119894of algebraA(x 119861) can be written as a Laurent polynomial

in 119899 variables with the integer coefficients

Remark 5 The Laurent phenomenon turns the additivestructure of cluster algebra A(x 119861) into a totally orderedabelian group satisfying the Riesz interpolation property thatis a dimension group [4 Theorem 31] the abelian groupwith order comes from the semigroup of the Laurent poly-nomials with positive coefficients see [19] for the details Abackgroundon the partially and totally ordered unperforatedabelian groups with the Riesz interpolation property can befound in [4]

To deal with mutation formulas (3) and (4) in geometricterms recall that a quiver 119876 is an oriented graph given bythe set of vertices 119876

0and the set of arrows 119876

1 an example of

quiver is given in Figure 1 Let 119896 be a vertex of119876 the mutatedat vertex 119896 quiver 120583

119896(119876) has the same set of vertices as 119876 but

the set of arrows is obtained by the following procedure (i)for each subquiver 119894 rarr 119896 rarr 119895 one adds a new arrow 119894 rarr 119895(ii) one reverses all arrows with source or target 119896 (iii) oneremoves the arrows in a maximal set of pairwise disjoint 2-cycles The reader can verify that if one encodes a quiver 119876with 119899 vertices by a skew-symmetric matrix 119861(119876) = (119887

119894119895)with

119887119894119895equal to the number of arrows from vertex 119894 to vertex 119895

then mutation 120583119896of seed (x 119861) coincides with such of the

corresponding quiver 119876 Thus the cluster algebra A(x 119861) isdefined by a quiver 119876 we will denote such an algebra byA(x 119876)

Definition 11 By a cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861) one under-stands an AF-algebra given by the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861)of the form

B (x 119861) fl T119898mod ℓ (9)

The rank ofA(x 119861) is equal to such of cluster algebraA(x 119861)

Example 12 If 119861119879is matrix (6) of Example 8 then B(x 119861

119879)

is shown in Figure 3 (We refer the reader to Section 4 for aproof) Notice that the graphB(x 119861

119879) is a part of the Bratteli

diagram of the Mundici algebraM compare [10 Figure 1]

Remark 13 It is not hard to see thatB(x 119861) is no longer a treeand B(x 119861) is a finite graph if and only if A(x 119861) is a finitecluster algebra

3 Proof

Let 119898 = 3(2119892 minus 2 + 119899) be the rank of cluster 119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876

119892119899) For the sake of clarity we will consider the case

119898 = 3 and the general case119898 isin 3 6 9 separately(i) LetA(x 119861

119879) be the cluster119862lowast-algebra of rank 3 In this

case 2119892minus2+119899 = 1 and either119892 = 0 and 119899 = 3 or else119892 = 119899 = 1Since 119879

03cong 119901119905 is trivial we are left with 119892 = 119899 = 1 that is

the once-punctured torus 11987811

Repeating the argument of Example 8 we get the seed(x 119861119879) where x = (119909

Figure 4 The mutation tree

Let us verify that matrix 119861119879is mutation finite indeed for

each 119896 isin 1 2 3 the matrix mutation formula (4) gives us120583119896(119861119879) = minus119861

119879

Therefore the exchange relations (3) do not vary it isverified directly that such relations have the following form

Consider a mutation tree T3shown in Figure 4 the

vertices of T3correspond to the mutations of cluster x =

(1199091 1199092 1199093) following the exchange rules (10)

The reader is encouraged to verify that modulo a cyclicpermutation of variables 1199091015840

1= 1199092 11990910158402= 1199093 11990910158403= 1199091and

1= 1199093 11990910158402= 1199091 11990910158403= 1199092one obtains (resp) the following

119895(120583119894(x)) there are no other cluster equiva-

lences for the vertices of the same level of graph T3

To determine the graph B(x 119861119879) one needs to take the

quotient of T3by the ℓ-equivalence relations (11) since the

pattern repeats for each level of T3 one gets the B(x 119861

shown in Figure 3 The cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861119879) is an AF-

algebra with the Bratteli diagramB(x 119861119879)

Notice that the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861119879) of our AF-

algebra A(x 119861119879) and such of the Mundici algebra M are

distinct compare [10 Figure 1] yet there is an obviousinclusion of one diagram into another Namely if one erasesa ldquocamelrsquos backrdquo (ie the two extreme sides of the diagram)in the Bratteli diagram of M then one gets exactly thediagram in Figure 3 Formally if G is the Bratteli diagramof the Mundici algebra M the complement G minus B(x 119861

at the extremities of tuples (11990910158401 119909

120579and

a hereditary Bratteli diagram which defines an ideal 119868120579of

119868120579sub A(x 119876

4 An Analog of Modular Flow on A(x 119876119892119899)

41 Modular Automorphisms 120590119905| 119905 isin R Recall that the

Ptolemy relations (5) for the Penner coordinates 120582(120574119894) in

the space 119879119892119899

are homogeneous in particular the system119905120582(120574119894) | 119905 isin R of such coordinates will also satisfy the

Ptolemy relations On the other hand for the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) the variables 119909

119894= 120582(120574

119894) and one gets an

obvious isomorphism A(x 119876119892119899) cong A(119905x 119876

119892119899) for all 119905 isin R

Since A(119905x 119876119892119899) sube A(x 119876

119892119899) one obtains a one-parameter

group of automorphisms

119892119899) 997888rarr A (x 119876

By analogy with [21] we will call 120590119905a Tomita-Takesaki flow on

the cluster119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876119892119899)The reader is encouraged to

verify that120590119905is an algebraic formof the geodesic flow119879119905 on the

Teichmuller space 119879119892119899 see [15] for an introduction Roughly

speaking such a flow comes from the one-parameter groupof matrices

acting on the space of holomorphic quadratic differentials ontheRiemann surface 119878

to the Teichmuller space 119879119892119899

42 Connes Invariant119879(A(x 119876119892119899)) Recall that an analogy of

theConnes invariant 119879(M) for a119862lowast-algebraM endowedwithamodular automorphism group120590

119905is the set119879(M) fl 119905 isin R |

120590119905is inner [21] The group of inner automorphisms of the

space 119879119892119899

and algebra A(x 119876119892119899) is isomorphic to the map-

ping class group mod 119878119892119899

of surface 119878119892119899 The automorphism

120601 isin mod119878119892119899

is called pseudo-Anosov if 120601(F120583) = 120582

120601F120583

where F120583is invariant measured foliation and 120582

120601gt 1 is

a constant called dilatation of 120601 120582120601is always an algebraic

number of the maximal degree 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 [22] It is knownthat if 120601 isin mod119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov then there exists

a trajectory O of the geodesic flow 119879119905 and a point 119878

119892119899isin

119879119892119899 such that the points 119878

119892119899and 120601(119878

119892119899) belong to O [15]

O is called an axis of the pseudo-Anosov automorphism120601 The axis can be used to calculate the Connes invariant119879(A(x 119876

119892119899)) of the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) indeed in

view of formula (25) one must solve the following system ofequations

120590119905(119909) = 119890

119905

119909

120601 (119909) = 120582120601119909

(26)

for a point 119909 isin O Thus 120590119905(119909) coincides with the inner

automorphism 120601(119909) if and only if 119905 = log 120582120601 Taking all

pseudo-Anosov automorphisms 120601 isin mod119878119892119899 one gets a

formula for the Connes invariant

119879 (A (x 119876119892119899))

= log 120582120601| 120601 isin mod 119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov

(27)

Remark 17 The Connes invariant (27) says that the family ofcluster 119862lowast-algebras A(x 119876

119892119899) is an analog of the type III

Since the entries of matrix 119861 are exponents of the monomialsin cluster variables one gets a new pair (x1015840 1198611015840) where 1198611015840 =(1198871015840

For brevity the pair (x 119861) is called a seed and the seed(x1015840 1198611015840) fl (x1015840 120583

119896(119861)) is obtained from (x 119861) by a mutation

120583119896in the direction 119896 where 1 le 119896 le 119898 120583

119896is involution

that is 1205832119896= 119868119889 The matrix 119861 is called mutation finite if

only finitely many new matrices can be produced from 119861

by repeated matrix mutations The cluster algebra A(x 119861)can be defined as the subring of Q(119909

1 119909

119898) generated by

the union of all cluster variables obtained from the initialseed (x 119861) by mutations of (x 119861) (and its iterations) in allpossible directions We will write T

119898to denote an oriented

tree whose vertices are seeds (x1015840 1198611015840) and 119898 outgoing arrowsin each vertex correspond tomutations 120583

119896of the seed (x1015840 1198611015840)

The Laurent phenomenon proved by [1] says that A(x 119861) subZ[xplusmn1] where Z[xplusmn1] is the ring of the Laurent polynomialsin variables x = (119909

1 119909

119899) in other words each generator

119909119894of algebraA(x 119861) can be written as a Laurent polynomial

in 119899 variables with the integer coefficients

Remark 5 The Laurent phenomenon turns the additivestructure of cluster algebra A(x 119861) into a totally orderedabelian group satisfying the Riesz interpolation property thatis a dimension group [4 Theorem 31] the abelian groupwith order comes from the semigroup of the Laurent poly-nomials with positive coefficients see [19] for the details Abackgroundon the partially and totally ordered unperforatedabelian groups with the Riesz interpolation property can befound in [4]

the set of arrows is obtained by the following procedure (i)for each subquiver 119894 rarr 119896 rarr 119895 one adds a new arrow 119894 rarr 119895(ii) one reverses all arrows with source or target 119896 (iii) oneremoves the arrows in a maximal set of pairwise disjoint 2-cycles The reader can verify that if one encodes a quiver 119876with 119899 vertices by a skew-symmetric matrix 119861(119876) = (119887

119894119895)with

119887119894119895equal to the number of arrows from vertex 119894 to vertex 119895

then mutation 120583119896of seed (x 119861) coincides with such of the

corresponding quiver 119876 Thus the cluster algebra A(x 119861) isdefined by a quiver 119876 we will denote such an algebra byA(x 119876)

Theorem 9 (see [2]) The cluster algebra A(x 119861119879) does not

depend on triangulation119879 but only on the surface 119878119892119899 namely

Definition 11 By a cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861) one under-stands an AF-algebra given by the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861)of the form

B (x 119861) fl T119898mod ℓ (9)

The rank ofA(x 119861) is equal to such of cluster algebraA(x 119861)

Example 12 If 119861119879is matrix (6) of Example 8 then B(x 119861

119879)

is shown in Figure 3 (We refer the reader to Section 4 for aproof) Notice that the graphB(x 119861

119879) is a part of the Bratteli

diagram of the Mundici algebraM compare [10 Figure 1]

Remark 13 It is not hard to see thatB(x 119861) is no longer a treeand B(x 119861) is a finite graph if and only if A(x 119861) is a finitecluster algebra

3 Proof

Let 119898 = 3(2119892 minus 2 + 119899) be the rank of cluster 119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876

119892119899) For the sake of clarity we will consider the case

119898 = 3 and the general case119898 isin 3 6 9 separately(i) LetA(x 119861

119879) be the cluster119862lowast-algebra of rank 3 In this

case 2119892minus2+119899 = 1 and either119892 = 0 and 119899 = 3 or else119892 = 119899 = 1Since 119879

03cong 119901119905 is trivial we are left with 119892 = 119899 = 1 that is

the once-punctured torus 11987811

Repeating the argument of Example 8 we get the seed(x 119861119879) where x = (119909

1 1199092 1199093) and the skew-symmetric

matrix 119861119879is given by formula (6)

Figure 4 The mutation tree

Let us verify that matrix 119861119879is mutation finite indeed for

each 119896 isin 1 2 3 the matrix mutation formula (4) gives us120583119896(119861119879) = minus119861

119879

Therefore the exchange relations (3) do not vary it isverified directly that such relations have the following form

Consider a mutation tree T3shown in Figure 4 the

vertices of T3correspond to the mutations of cluster x =

(1199091 1199092 1199093) following the exchange rules (10)

The reader is encouraged to verify that modulo a cyclicpermutation of variables 1199091015840

1= 1199092 11990910158402= 1199093 11990910158403= 1199091and

1= 1199093 11990910158402= 1199091 11990910158403= 1199092one obtains (resp) the following

119895(120583119894(x)) there are no other cluster equiva-

lences for the vertices of the same level of graph T3

To determine the graph B(x 119861119879) one needs to take the

quotient of T3by the ℓ-equivalence relations (11) since the

pattern repeats for each level of T3 one gets the B(x 119861

shown in Figure 3 The cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861119879) is an AF-

algebra with the Bratteli diagramB(x 119861119879)

Notice that the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861119879) of our AF-

algebra A(x 119861119879) and such of the Mundici algebra M are

distinct compare [10 Figure 1] yet there is an obviousinclusion of one diagram into another Namely if one erasesa ldquocamelrsquos backrdquo (ie the two extreme sides of the diagram)in the Bratteli diagram of M then one gets exactly thediagram in Figure 3 Formally if G is the Bratteli diagramof the Mundici algebra M the complement G minus B(x 119861

A tedious but straightforward calculation shows that theonly equivalent clusters at the same level of T

3119896are the ones

at the extremities of tuples (11990910158401 119909

1015840

3119896) in other words one

gets the following system of equivalences of clusters

(x) = 12058321(x)

12058323119896

The graph B(x 119861119879) is the quotient of T

3119896by the ℓ-

equivalence relations (19) for 119896 = 2 such a graph is sketchedin Figure 5 A(x 119876

119892119899) is an AF-algebra given by the Bratteli

diagramB(x 119861119879)

where A(x 119876119892119899)119868120579is an AF-algebra 119860

120579associated with the

convergent Jacobi-Perron continued fraction of vector (1 120579) seeSection 23

Proof We adapt the argument of [9 case 119896 = 1] to thecase 119896 ge 1 Let 119889 = 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 be dimension of thespace 119879

119892119899 Roughly speaking the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861

119879)

of algebraA(x 119876119892119899) can be cut in two disjoint piecesG

120579and

B(x 119861119879)minusG120579 as it is shown by [9 Figure 7]G

120579is a (finite or

infinite) vertical strip of constant ldquowidthrdquo 119889 where 119889 is equalto the number of vertices cut from each level ofB(x 119861

reader is encouraged to verify that G120579is exactly the Bratteli

diagram of the AF-algebra119860120579associated with the convergent

Jacobi-Perron continued fraction of a generic vector (1 120579) seeSection 23

On the other hand the complement B(x 119861119879) minus G

120579is

a hereditary Bratteli diagram which defines an ideal 119868120579of

algebra A(x 119876119892119899) such that

A (x 119876119892119899)

Theorem38] (An extra care is required if 120579 = (120579119894) is a rational

vector the complete argument can be found in [9 pp 980ndash985]) Lemma 15 follows

converges to119868120579in the Jacobson topology in PrimA(x 119876

sequence 120579119899converges to 120579 in the Euclidean space R6119892minus7+2119899

Proof The proof is a straightforward adaption of the argu-ment in [9 pp 986ndash988] we leave it as an exercise to thereader

automorphisms of algebra A(x 119876119892119899) see Section 4 Because

119868120579sub A(x 119876

119892119899) the image 120590119905(119868

120579) of 119868120579is correctly defined

for all 119905 isin R 120590119905(119868120579) is an ideal of A(x 119876

119892119899) but not

necessarily a primitive ideal Since 120590119905is an algebraic form

of the Teichmuller geodesic flow on the space 119879119892119899

[15] oneconcludes that the family of ideals

Theorem 2 is proved

4 An Analog of Modular Flow on A(x 119876119892119899)

41 Modular Automorphisms 120590119905| 119905 isin R Recall that the

Ptolemy relations (5) for the Penner coordinates 120582(120574119894) in

the space 119879119892119899

are homogeneous in particular the system119905120582(120574119894) | 119905 isin R of such coordinates will also satisfy the

Ptolemy relations On the other hand for the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) the variables 119909

119894= 120582(120574

119894) and one gets an

obvious isomorphism A(x 119876119892119899) cong A(119905x 119876

119892119899) for all 119905 isin R

Since A(119905x 119876119892119899) sube A(x 119876

119892119899) one obtains a one-parameter

group of automorphisms

120590119905 A (x 119876

119892119899) 997888rarr A (x 119876

119892119899) (24)

By analogy with [21] we will call 120590119905a Tomita-Takesaki flow on

the cluster119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876119892119899)The reader is encouraged to

verify that120590119905is an algebraic formof the geodesic flow119879119905 on the

Teichmuller space 119879119892119899 see [15] for an introduction Roughly

speaking such a flow comes from the one-parameter groupof matrices

acting on the space of holomorphic quadratic differentials ontheRiemann surface 119878

119892119899 the latter is known to be isomorphic

to the Teichmuller space 119879119892119899

42 Connes Invariant119879(A(x 119876119892119899)) Recall that an analogy of

theConnes invariant 119879(M) for a119862lowast-algebraM endowedwithamodular automorphism group120590

119905is the set119879(M) fl 119905 isin R |

120590119905is inner [21] The group of inner automorphisms of the

space 119879119892119899

and algebra A(x 119876119892119899) is isomorphic to the map-

ping class group mod 119878119892119899

of surface 119878119892119899 The automorphism

120601 isin mod119878119892119899

is called pseudo-Anosov if 120601(F120583) = 120582

120601F120583

where F120583is invariant measured foliation and 120582

120601gt 1 is

a constant called dilatation of 120601 120582120601is always an algebraic

number of the maximal degree 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 [22] It is knownthat if 120601 isin mod119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov then there exists

a trajectory O of the geodesic flow 119879119905 and a point 119878

119892119899isin

119879119892119899 such that the points 119878

119892119899and 120601(119878

119892119899) belong to O [15]

O is called an axis of the pseudo-Anosov automorphism120601 The axis can be used to calculate the Connes invariant119879(A(x 119876

119892119899)) of the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) indeed in

view of formula (25) one must solve the following system ofequations

120590119905(119909) = 119890

119905

119909

120601 (119909) = 120582120601119909

(26)

for a point 119909 isin O Thus 120590119905(119909) coincides with the inner

automorphism 120601(119909) if and only if 119905 = log 120582120601 Taking all

pseudo-Anosov automorphisms 120601 isin mod119878119892119899 one gets a

formula for the Connes invariant

119879 (A (x 119876119892119899))

= log 120582120601| 120601 isin mod 119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov

(27)

Remark 17 The Connes invariant (27) says that the family ofcluster 119862lowast-algebras A(x 119876

119892119899) is an analog of the type III

B (x 119861) fl T119898mod ℓ (9)

The rank ofA(x 119861) is equal to such of cluster algebraA(x 119861)

Example 12 If 119861119879is matrix (6) of Example 8 then B(x 119861

119879)

is shown in Figure 3 (We refer the reader to Section 4 for aproof) Notice that the graphB(x 119861

119879) is a part of the Bratteli

diagram of the Mundici algebraM compare [10 Figure 1]

Remark 13 It is not hard to see thatB(x 119861) is no longer a treeand B(x 119861) is a finite graph if and only if A(x 119861) is a finitecluster algebra

3 Proof

Let 119898 = 3(2119892 minus 2 + 119899) be the rank of cluster 119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876

119892119899) For the sake of clarity we will consider the case

119898 = 3 and the general case119898 isin 3 6 9 separately(i) LetA(x 119861

119879) be the cluster119862lowast-algebra of rank 3 In this

case 2119892minus2+119899 = 1 and either119892 = 0 and 119899 = 3 or else119892 = 119899 = 1Since 119879

03cong 119901119905 is trivial we are left with 119892 = 119899 = 1 that is

the once-punctured torus 11987811

Repeating the argument of Example 8 we get the seed(x 119861119879) where x = (119909

1 1199092 1199093) and the skew-symmetric

matrix 119861119879is given by formula (6)

Figure 4 The mutation tree

Let us verify that matrix 119861119879is mutation finite indeed for

each 119896 isin 1 2 3 the matrix mutation formula (4) gives us120583119896(119861119879) = minus119861

119879

Therefore the exchange relations (3) do not vary it isverified directly that such relations have the following form

Consider a mutation tree T3shown in Figure 4 the

vertices of T3correspond to the mutations of cluster x =

(1199091 1199092 1199093) following the exchange rules (10)

The reader is encouraged to verify that modulo a cyclicpermutation of variables 1199091015840

1= 1199092 11990910158402= 1199093 11990910158403= 1199091and

1= 1199093 11990910158402= 1199091 11990910158403= 1199092one obtains (resp) the following

equivalences of clusters

where 120583119894119895(x) fl 120583

119895(120583119894(x)) there are no other cluster equiva-

lences for the vertices of the same level of graph T3

To determine the graph B(x 119861119879) one needs to take the

quotient of T3by the ℓ-equivalence relations (11) since the

pattern repeats for each level of T3 one gets the B(x 119861

shown in Figure 3 The cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861119879) is an AF-

algebra with the Bratteli diagramB(x 119861119879)

Notice that the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861119879) of our AF-

algebra A(x 119861119879) and such of the Mundici algebra M are

distinct compare [10 Figure 1] yet there is an obviousinclusion of one diagram into another Namely if one erasesa ldquocamelrsquos backrdquo (ie the two extreme sides of the diagram)in the Bratteli diagram of M then one gets exactly thediagram in Figure 3 Formally if G is the Bratteli diagramof the Mundici algebra M the complement G minus B(x 119861

119879)

is a hereditary Bratteli diagram which gives rise to an ideal1198680subM such that

are homogeneous in particular the system119905120582(120574119894) | 119905 isin R of such coordinates will also satisfy the

Ptolemy relations On the other hand for the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) the variables 119909

119894= 120582(120574

119894) and one gets an

obvious isomorphism A(x 119876119892119899) cong A(119905x 119876

119892119899) for all 119905 isin R

Since A(119905x 119876119892119899) sube A(x 119876

119892119899) one obtains a one-parameter

By analogy with [21] we will call 120590119905a Tomita-Takesaki flow on

speaking such a flow comes from the one-parameter groupof matrices

ping class group mod 119878119892119899

of surface 119878119892119899 The automorphism

120601 isin mod119878119892119899

is called pseudo-Anosov if 120601(F120583) = 120582

120601F120583

where F120583is invariant measured foliation and 120582

120601gt 1 is

a constant called dilatation of 120601 120582120601is always an algebraic

number of the maximal degree 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 [22] It is knownthat if 120601 isin mod119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov then there exists

a trajectory O of the geodesic flow 119879119905 and a point 119878

119892119899isin

119879119892119899 such that the points 119878

119892119899and 120601(119878

119892119899) belong to O [15]

O is called an axis of the pseudo-Anosov automorphism120601 The axis can be used to calculate the Connes invariant119879(A(x 119876

119892119899)) of the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) indeed in

view of formula (25) one must solve the following system ofequations

120590119905(119909) = 119890

119905

119909

120601 (119909) = 120582120601119909

(26)

for a point 119909 isin O Thus 120590119905(119909) coincides with the inner

automorphism 120601(119909) if and only if 119905 = log 120582120601 Taking all

pseudo-Anosov automorphisms 120601 isin mod119878119892119899 one gets a

formula for the Connes invariant

119879 (A (x 119876119892119899))

= log 120582120601| 120601 isin mod 119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov

Figure 4 The mutation tree

Let us verify that matrix 119861119879is mutation finite indeed for

each 119896 isin 1 2 3 the matrix mutation formula (4) gives us120583119896(119861119879) = minus119861

119879

Therefore the exchange relations (3) do not vary it isverified directly that such relations have the following form

Consider a mutation tree T3shown in Figure 4 the

vertices of T3correspond to the mutations of cluster x =

(1199091 1199092 1199093) following the exchange rules (10)

The reader is encouraged to verify that modulo a cyclicpermutation of variables 1199091015840

1= 1199092 11990910158402= 1199093 11990910158403= 1199091and

1199091015840

1= 1199093 11990910158402= 1199091 11990910158403= 1199092one obtains (resp) the following

equivalences of clusters

12058323(x) = 120583

(11)

where 120583119894119895(x) fl 120583

119895(120583119894(x)) there are no other cluster equiva-

lences for the vertices of the same level of graph T3

To determine the graph B(x 119861119879) one needs to take the

quotient of T3by the ℓ-equivalence relations (11) since the

pattern repeats for each level of T3 one gets the B(x 119861

119879)

shown in Figure 3 The cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119861119879) is an AF-

algebra with the Bratteli diagramB(x 119861119879)

Notice that the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861119879) of our AF-

algebra A(x 119861119879) and such of the Mundici algebra M are

distinct compare [10 Figure 1] yet there is an obviousinclusion of one diagram into another Namely if one erasesa ldquocamelrsquos backrdquo (ie the two extreme sides of the diagram)in the Bratteli diagram of M then one gets exactly thediagram in Figure 3 Formally if G is the Bratteli diagramof the Mundici algebra M the complement G minus B(x 119861

119879)

is a hereditary Bratteli diagram which gives rise to an ideal1198680subM such that

(It is interesting to calculate the group 1198700(1198680) in the context

of the work of [13])On the other hand the space PrimM (and hence

PrimA(x 119861119879)) is well understood see for example [13] or

[9 Proposition 7] Namely

Prim(

M

) = 119868120579| 120579 isin R (13)

where 119868120579sub M is such that M119868

120579cong 119860120579is the Effros-Shen

algebra [14] if 120579 is an irrational number or M119868120579cong 119872119902is

finite-dimensional matrix 119862lowast-algebra (and an extension ofsuch by the 119862lowast-algebra of compact operators) if 120579 = 119901119902 isa rational number (Note that the third series of primitiveideals of [9 Proposition 7] correspond to the ideal 119868

but not necessarily primitive Since 120590119905is nothing but (an

algebraic form of) the Teichmuller geodesic flow on 11987911

[15]one concludes that that the family of ideals

M

| 119905 isin R 120579 isin R (15)

can be taken for a coordinate system in the space 11987911cong R2

In view of (14) andM1198680cong A(x 119876

homeomorphism

such that the quotient algebra A(x 11987611)120590119905(119868120579) is a noncom-

mutative coordinate ring of the Riemann surface 11987811

cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876119892119899) determines completely the pair

A tedious but straightforward calculation shows that theonly equivalent clusters at the same level of T

3119896are the ones

at the extremities of tuples (11990910158401 119909

gets the following system of equivalences of clusters

119892119899) is an AF-algebra given by the Bratteli

diagramB(x 119861119879)

where A(x 119876119892119899)119868120579is an AF-algebra 119860

120579associated with the

convergent Jacobi-Perron continued fraction of vector (1 120579) seeSection 23

Proof We adapt the argument of [9 case 119896 = 1] to thecase 119896 ge 1 Let 119889 = 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 be dimension of thespace 119879

119892119899 Roughly speaking the Bratteli diagram B(x 119861

119879)

of algebraA(x 119876119892119899) can be cut in two disjoint piecesG

120579and

B(x 119861119879)minusG120579 as it is shown by [9 Figure 7]G

120579is a (finite or

infinite) vertical strip of constant ldquowidthrdquo 119889 where 119889 is equalto the number of vertices cut from each level ofB(x 119861

reader is encouraged to verify that G120579is exactly the Bratteli

diagram of the AF-algebra119860120579associated with the convergent

Jacobi-Perron continued fraction of a generic vector (1 120579) seeSection 23

On the other hand the complement B(x 119861119879) minus G

120579is

a hereditary Bratteli diagram which defines an ideal 119868120579of

algebra A(x 119876119892119899) such that

see [6 Lemma 32] Moreover 119868120579is a primitive ideal [6

Theorem38] (An extra care is required if 120579 = (120579119894) is a rational

vector the complete argument can be found in [9 pp 980ndash985]) Lemma 15 follows

converges to119868120579in the Jacobson topology in PrimA(x 119876

sequence 120579119899converges to 120579 in the Euclidean space R6119892minus7+2119899

Proof The proof is a straightforward adaption of the argu-ment in [9 pp 986ndash988] we leave it as an exercise to thereader

automorphisms of algebra A(x 119876119892119899) see Section 4 Because

119868120579sub A(x 119876

119892119899) the image 120590119905(119868

for all 119905 isin R 120590119905(119868120579) is an ideal of A(x 119876

necessarily a primitive ideal Since 120590119905is an algebraic form

of the Teichmuller geodesic flow on the space 119879119892119899

[15] oneconcludes that the family of ideals

4 An Analog of Modular Flow on A(x 119876119892119899)

41 Modular Automorphisms 120590119905| 119905 isin R Recall that the

Ptolemy relations (5) for the Penner coordinates 120582(120574119894) in

the space 119879119892119899

are homogeneous in particular the system119905120582(120574119894) | 119905 isin R of such coordinates will also satisfy the

Ptolemy relations On the other hand for the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) the variables 119909

119894= 120582(120574

119894) and one gets an

obvious isomorphism A(x 119876119892119899) cong A(119905x 119876

119892119899) for all 119905 isin R

Since A(119905x 119876119892119899) sube A(x 119876

119892119899) one obtains a one-parameter

group of automorphisms

By analogy with [21] we will call 120590119905a Tomita-Takesaki flow on

the cluster119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876119892119899)The reader is encouraged to

verify that120590119905is an algebraic formof the geodesic flow119879119905 on the

Teichmuller space 119879119892119899 see [15] for an introduction Roughly

speaking such a flow comes from the one-parameter groupof matrices

42 Connes Invariant119879(A(x 119876119892119899)) Recall that an analogy of

theConnes invariant 119879(M) for a119862lowast-algebraM endowedwithamodular automorphism group120590

119905is the set119879(M) fl 119905 isin R |

120590119905is inner [21] The group of inner automorphisms of the

space 119879119892119899

and algebra A(x 119876119892119899) is isomorphic to the map-

ping class group mod 119878119892119899

of surface 119878119892119899 The automorphism

120601 isin mod119878119892119899

is called pseudo-Anosov if 120601(F120583) = 120582

120601F120583

where F120583is invariant measured foliation and 120582

120601gt 1 is

a constant called dilatation of 120601 120582120601is always an algebraic

number of the maximal degree 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 [22] It is knownthat if 120601 isin mod119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov then there exists

a trajectory O of the geodesic flow 119879119905 and a point 119878

119892119899isin

119879119892119899 such that the points 119878

119892119899and 120601(119878

119892119899) belong to O [15]

O is called an axis of the pseudo-Anosov automorphism120601 The axis can be used to calculate the Connes invariant119879(A(x 119876

119892119899)) of the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) indeed in

view of formula (25) one must solve the following system ofequations

120590119905(119909) = 119890

119905

119909

120601 (119909) = 120582120601119909

(26)

for a point 119909 isin O Thus 120590119905(119909) coincides with the inner

automorphism 120601(119909) if and only if 119905 = log 120582120601 Taking all

pseudo-Anosov automorphisms 120601 isin mod119878119892119899 one gets a

formula for the Connes invariant

119879 (A (x 119876119892119899))

= log 120582120601| 120601 isin mod 119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov

(27)

Remark 17 The Connes invariant (27) says that the family ofcluster 119862lowast-algebras A(x 119876

119892119899) is an analog of the type III

of algebraA(x 119876119892119899) can be cut in two disjoint piecesG

120579and

infinite) vertical strip of constant ldquowidthrdquo 119889 where 119889 is equalto the number of vertices cut from each level ofB(x 119861

diagram of the AF-algebra119860120579associated with the convergent

Jacobi-Perron continued fraction of a generic vector (1 120579) seeSection 23

On the other hand the complement B(x 119861119879) minus G

120579is

a hereditary Bratteli diagram which defines an ideal 119868120579of

converges to119868120579in the Jacobson topology in PrimA(x 119876

sequence 120579119899converges to 120579 in the Euclidean space R6119892minus7+2119899

necessarily a primitive ideal Since 120590119905is an algebraic form

of the Teichmuller geodesic flow on the space 119879119892119899

4 An Analog of Modular Flow on A(x 119876119892119899)

41 Modular Automorphisms 120590119905| 119905 isin R Recall that the

Ptolemy relations (5) for the Penner coordinates 120582(120574119894) in

the space 119879119892119899

are homogeneous in particular the system119905120582(120574119894) | 119905 isin R of such coordinates will also satisfy the

Ptolemy relations On the other hand for the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) the variables 119909

119894= 120582(120574

119894) and one gets an

obvious isomorphism A(x 119876119892119899) cong A(119905x 119876

119892119899) for all 119905 isin R

Since A(119905x 119876119892119899) sube A(x 119876

119892119899) one obtains a one-parameter

group of automorphisms

119892119899) 997888rarr A (x 119876

By analogy with [21] we will call 120590119905a Tomita-Takesaki flow on

the cluster119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876119892119899)The reader is encouraged to

verify that120590119905is an algebraic formof the geodesic flow119879119905 on the

Teichmuller space 119879119892119899 see [15] for an introduction Roughly

speaking such a flow comes from the one-parameter groupof matrices

) (25)

acting on the space of holomorphic quadratic differentials ontheRiemann surface 119878

to the Teichmuller space 119879119892119899

42 Connes Invariant119879(A(x 119876119892119899)) Recall that an analogy of

theConnes invariant 119879(M) for a119862lowast-algebraM endowedwithamodular automorphism group120590

119905is the set119879(M) fl 119905 isin R |

120590119905is inner [21] The group of inner automorphisms of the

space 119879119892119899

and algebra A(x 119876119892119899) is isomorphic to the map-

ping class group mod 119878119892119899

of surface 119878119892119899 The automorphism

120601 isin mod119878119892119899

is called pseudo-Anosov if 120601(F120583) = 120582

120601F120583

where F120583is invariant measured foliation and 120582

120601gt 1 is

a constant called dilatation of 120601 120582120601is always an algebraic

number of the maximal degree 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 [22] It is knownthat if 120601 isin mod119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov then there exists

a trajectory O of the geodesic flow 119879119905 and a point 119878

119892119899isin

119879119892119899 such that the points 119878

119892119899and 120601(119878

119892119899) belong to O [15]

O is called an axis of the pseudo-Anosov automorphism120601 The axis can be used to calculate the Connes invariant119879(A(x 119876

120601 (119909) = 120582120601119909

automorphism 120601(119909) if and only if 119905 = log 120582120601 Taking all

pseudo-Anosov automorphisms 120601 isin mod119878119892119899 one gets a

formula for the Connes invariant

see [6 Lemma 32] Moreover 119868120579is a primitive ideal [6

Theorem38] (An extra care is required if 120579 = (120579119894) is a rational

vector the complete argument can be found in [9 pp 980ndash985]) Lemma 15 follows

Lemma 16 The sequence of primitive ideals 119868120579119899

converges to119868120579in the Jacobson topology in PrimA(x 119876

119892119899) if and only if the

sequence 120579119899converges to 120579 in the Euclidean space R6119892minus7+2119899

Proof The proof is a straightforward adaption of the argu-ment in [9 pp 986ndash988] we leave it as an exercise to thereader

Let 120590119905 A(x 119876

119892119899) rarr A(x 119876

119892119899) be the Tomita-

Takesaki flow that is the group 120590119905| 119905 isin R of modular

automorphisms of algebra A(x 119876119892119899) see Section 4 Because

119868120579sub A(x 119876

119892119899) the image 120590119905(119868

120579) of 119868120579is correctly defined

for all 119905 isin R 120590119905(119868120579) is an ideal of A(x 119876

119892119899) but not

necessarily a primitive ideal Since 120590119905is an algebraic form

of the Teichmuller geodesic flow on the space 119879119892119899

[15] oneconcludes that the family of ideals

120590119905(119868120579) sub A (x 119876

119892119899) | 119905 isin R 120579 isin R

6119892minus7+2119899

(22)

can be taken for a coordinate system in the space 119879119892119899

cong

R6119892minus6+2119899 In view of Lemmas 15 and 16 one gets the requiredhomeomorphism

997888rarr 119880 sube 119879119892119899| 119880 is generic

(23)

such that the quotient algebra 119860120579= A(x 119876

119892119899)120590119905(119868120579) is a

noncommutative coordinate ring of theRiemann surface 119878119892119899

Theorem 2 is proved

4 An Analog of Modular Flow on A(x 119876119892119899)

41 Modular Automorphisms 120590119905| 119905 isin R Recall that the

Ptolemy relations (5) for the Penner coordinates 120582(120574119894) in

the space 119879119892119899

are homogeneous in particular the system119905120582(120574119894) | 119905 isin R of such coordinates will also satisfy the

Ptolemy relations On the other hand for the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) the variables 119909

119894= 120582(120574

119894) and one gets an

obvious isomorphism A(x 119876119892119899) cong A(119905x 119876

119892119899) for all 119905 isin R

Since A(119905x 119876119892119899) sube A(x 119876

119892119899) one obtains a one-parameter

group of automorphisms

120590119905 A (x 119876

119892119899) 997888rarr A (x 119876

119892119899) (24)

By analogy with [21] we will call 120590119905a Tomita-Takesaki flow on

the cluster119862lowast-algebraA(x 119876119892119899)The reader is encouraged to

verify that120590119905is an algebraic formof the geodesic flow119879119905 on the

Teichmuller space 119879119892119899 see [15] for an introduction Roughly

speaking such a flow comes from the one-parameter groupof matrices

(

119890119905

0 119890minus119905

) (25)

acting on the space of holomorphic quadratic differentials ontheRiemann surface 119878

119892119899 the latter is known to be isomorphic

to the Teichmuller space 119879119892119899

42 Connes Invariant119879(A(x 119876119892119899)) Recall that an analogy of

theConnes invariant 119879(M) for a119862lowast-algebraM endowedwithamodular automorphism group120590

119905is the set119879(M) fl 119905 isin R |

120590119905is inner [21] The group of inner automorphisms of the

space 119879119892119899

and algebra A(x 119876119892119899) is isomorphic to the map-

ping class group mod 119878119892119899

of surface 119878119892119899 The automorphism

120601 isin mod119878119892119899

is called pseudo-Anosov if 120601(F120583) = 120582

120601F120583

where F120583is invariant measured foliation and 120582

120601gt 1 is

a constant called dilatation of 120601 120582120601is always an algebraic

number of the maximal degree 6119892 minus 6 + 2119899 [22] It is knownthat if 120601 isin mod119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov then there exists

a trajectory O of the geodesic flow 119879119905 and a point 119878

119892119899isin

119879119892119899 such that the points 119878

119892119899and 120601(119878

119892119899) belong to O [15]

O is called an axis of the pseudo-Anosov automorphism120601 The axis can be used to calculate the Connes invariant119879(A(x 119876

119892119899)) of the cluster 119862lowast-algebra A(x 119876

119892119899) indeed in

view of formula (25) one must solve the following system ofequations

120590119905(119909) = 119890

119905

119909

120601 (119909) = 120582120601119909

(26)

for a point 119909 isin O Thus 120590119905(119909) coincides with the inner

automorphism 120601(119909) if and only if 119905 = log 120582120601 Taking all

pseudo-Anosov automorphisms 120601 isin mod119878119892119899 one gets a

formula for the Connes invariant

119879 (A (x 119876119892119899))

= log 120582120601| 120601 isin mod 119878

119892119899is pseudo-Anosov

(27)

Remark 17 The Connes invariant (27) says that the family ofcluster 119862lowast-algebras A(x 119876

119892119899) is an analog of the type III

120582
