Abstract:   Recent work by Buan, Marsh, Reiten, Todorov ... shows that the Fomin-Zelevinsky cluster algebra associated with an acyclic quiver is closely related to a certain triangulated 2-Calabi-Yau category constructed from its representations: the cluster category. We show how to characterize this category among (algebraic) 2-Calabi-Yau categories. We present applications to the combinatorics of quiver mutation and to the classification of Cohen-Macaulay modules over certain singularities.
