This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program ($160,000) will support research at Michigan State University exploring the connections between cluster algebras, quantum groups, and decorated character varieties. The principal investigator will investigate the quantum geometry of moduli spaces within the framework of cluster algebras, examining relationships between decorated character varieties, quantum groups, and Legendrian knots. Specific aims include providing a rigid cluster model realizing quantum groups to obtain new interpretations of quantum group properties from the cluster algebra perspective, studying natural bases of quantized decorated character varieties including a diagrammatic construction of web bases, exploring intrinsic correspondences between exact Lagrangian fillings of Legendrian knots and cluster seeds of their augmentation varieties, and using tools from Legendrian knot theory to introduce a cluster structure on generalized Richardson varieties. Broader impacts include mentoring undergraduate research and supporting a research seminar.
