Title: Periodic Staircase Matrices and Generalized Cluster Structures
As is well known, cluster transformations in cluster structures of geometric type are often modeled on determinant identities, such as short Plücker relations, Desnanot– Jacobi identities, and their generalizations. We present a construction that plays a similar role in a description of generalized cluster transformations and discuss its applications to generalized cluster structures in GL_n compatible with a certain subclass of Belavin–Drinfeld Poisson–Lie brackets, in the Drinfeld double of GL_n, and in spaces of periodic difference operators.  more » « less

  1. We continue the study of multiple cluster structures in the rings of regular functions on $$GL_n$$, $$SL_n$$ and $$\operatorname{Mat}_n$$ that are compatible with Poisson-Lie and Poisson-homogeneous structures. According to our initial conjecture, each class in the Belavin-Drinfeld classification of Poisson--Lie structures on a semisimple complex group $$\mathcal G$$ corresponds to a cluster structure in $$\mathcal O(\mathcal G)$$. Here we prove this conjecture for a large subset of Belavin-Drinfeld (BD) data of $$A_n$$ type, which includes all the previously known examples. Namely, we subdivide all possible $$A_n$$ type BD data into oriented and non-oriented kinds. In the oriented case, we single out BD data satisfying a certain combinatorial condition that we call aperiodicity and prove that for any BD data of this kind there exists a regular cluster structure compatible with the corresponding Poisson-Lie bracket. In fact, we extend the aperiodicity condition to pairs of oriented BD data and prove a more general result that establishes an existence of a regular cluster structure on $$SL_n$$ compatible with a Poisson bracket homogeneous with respect to the right and left action of two copies of $$SL_n$$ equipped with two different Poisson-Lie brackets. If the aperiodicity condition is not satisfied, a compatible cluster structure has to be replaced with a generalized cluster structure. We will address this situation in future publications.

  2. We prove that the regular generalized cluster structure on the Drinfeld double of 𝐺𝐿𝑛 constructed in Gekhtman, Shapiro, and Vainshtein (Int. Math. Res. Notes, 2022, to appear, arXiv:1912.00453) is complete and compatible with the standard Poisson–Lie structure on the double. Moreover, we show that for 𝑛 = 4 this structure is distinct from a previously known regular generalized cluster structure on the Drinfeld double, even though they have the same compatible Poisson structure and the same collection of frozen variables. Further, we prove that the regular generalized cluster structure on band periodic matrices constructed in Gekhtman, Shapiro, and Vainshtein (Int. Math. Res. Notes, 2022, to appear, arXiv:1912.00453) possesses similar compatibility and completeness properties.

  3. We continue the study of multiple cluster structures in the rings of regular functions on G L n GL_n , S L n SL_n and M a t n Mat_n that are compatible with Poisson–Lie and Poisson-homogeneous structures. According to our initial conjecture, each class in the Belavin–Drinfeld classification of Poisson–Lie structures on a semisimple complex group G \mathcal {G} corresponds to a cluster structure in O ( G ) \mathcal {O}(\mathcal {G}) . Here we prove this conjecture for a large subset of Belavin–Drinfeld (BD) data of A n A_n type, which includes all the previously known examples. Namely, we subdivide all possible A n A_n type BD data into oriented and non-oriented kinds. We further single out BD data satisfying a certain combinatorial condition that we call aperiodicity and prove that for any oriented BD data of this kind there exists a regular cluster structure compatible with the corresponding Poisson–Lie bracket. In fact, we extend the aperiodicity condition to pairs of oriented BD data and prove a more general result that establishes an existence of a regular cluster structure on S L n SL_n compatible with a Poisson bracket homogeneous with respect to the right and left action of two copies of S L n SL_n equipped with two different Poisson-Lie brackets. Similar results hold for aperiodic non-oriented BD data, but the analysis of the corresponding regular cluster structure is more involved and not given here. If the aperiodicity condition is not satisfied, a compatible cluster structure has to be replaced with a generalized cluster structure. We will address these situations in future publications.

  4. In model-based clustering, the population is assumed to be a combination of sub-populations. Typically, each sub-population is modeled by a mixture model component, distributed according to a known probability distribution. Each component is considered a cluster. Two primary approaches have been used in the literature when clusters are skewed: (1) transforming the data within each cluster and applying a mixture of symmetric distributions to the transformed data, and (2) directly modeling each cluster using a skewed distribution. Among skewed distributions, the generalized hyperbolic distribution is notably flexible and includes many other known distributions as special or limiting cases. This paper achieves two goals. First, it extends the flexibility of transformation-based methods as outlined in approach (1) by employing a flexible symmetric generalized hyperbolic distribution to model each transformed cluster. This innovation results in the introduction of two new models, each derived from distinct within-cluster data transformations. Second, the paper benchmarks the approaches listed in (1) and (2) for handling skewness using both simulated and real data. The findings highlight the necessity of both approaches in varying contexts.

  5. Scholze and Shin [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 26 (2013), pp. 261–294] gave a conjectural formula relating the traces on the automorphic and Galois sides of a local Langlands correspondence. Their work generalized an earlier formula of Scholze, which he used to give a new proof of the local Langlands conjecture for GL_n. Unlike the case for GL_n, the existence of non-singleton L-packets for more general reductive groups constitutes a serious representation-theoretic obstruction to proving that such a formula uniquely characterizes such a correspondence. We show how to overcome this problem, and demonstrate that the Scholze–Shin equation is enough, together with other standard desiderata, to uniquely characterize the local Langlands correspondence for discrete parameters.
