Abstract

We study natural cluster structures in the rings of regular functions on simple complex Lie groups and Poisson-Lie structures compatible with these cluster structures. According to our main conjecture, each class in the Belavin-Drinfeld classification of Poisson-Lie structures on G corresponds to a cluster structure in script O sign(G). We have shown before that this conjecture holds for any G in the case of the standard Poisson-Lie structure and for all Belavin-Drinfeld classes in SLn, n < 5. In this paper we establish it for the Cremmer-Gervais Poisson-Lie structure on SLn, which is the least similar to the standard one. Besides, we prove that on SL3 the cluster algebra and the upper cluster algebra corresponding to the Cremmer-Gervais cluster structure do not coincide, unlike the case of the standard cluster structure. Finally, we show that the positive locus with respect to the Cremmer-Gervais cluster structure is contained in the set of totally positive matrices.
