Cluster algebras were introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky with an aim to provide concrete and combinatorial formalism for the study of Lusztig's dual canonical basis and total positivity. Inspired by a previous work of Nakajima, we consider a class of (equivariant) perverse sheaves on acyclic graded quiver varieties and study the Fourier-Sato-Deligne transform from a representation theoretic point of view. In particular, we identifies the corresponding quantum Grothendieck ring and the acyclic quantum cluster algebra (with a specific coefficient) and show that the set of quantum cluster monomials is contained in the “dual canonical basis” of the quantum Grothendieck ring. In the first part, I will explain about the definition of cluster algebra (of geometric type) , its positivity conjectures and their motivations. In the second part, I will explain how the graded quiver varieties are related with cluster algebras and the positivity conjectures. This talk is based on a joint work with Fan Qin (Universite de Strasbourg, France).
