Abstract:   We discuss the Poisson and symplectic structures compatible with a cluster algebra structure. The main example is the cluster algebra structure of the decorated Teichmüller space. The compatible Poisson structure is Weil-Petersson bracket on the decorated Teichmüller space, whereas the compatible symplectic form is the Weil-Petersson symplectic form on the Teichmüller space.



Here are some directions to Northeastern University. Lake Hall can be best accessed from the entrance on the corner of Greenleaf Street and Leon Street.
