Title

Tropical curve counting and canonical bases

Abstract

Gross, Hacking, Keel, and Kontsevich recently constructed certain canonical bases for cluster algebras. The construction is combinatoric, but the bases are conjecturally controlled by the Gromov-Witten theory of the mirror cluster variety. I will discuss a new construction of these bases in terms of certain tropical curve counts which I hope to eventually show agree with the predicted Gromov-Witten counts. I will also discuss a refinement of the tropical counts which produces quantized versions of the canonical bases.
