A short proof of Kontsevich’s cluster conjecture. (English) Zbl 1266.16026
Summary: We give an elementary proof of the Kontsevich conjecture that asserts that the iterations of the noncommutative rational map $$K_r\colon(x,y)\mapsto(xyx^{-1},(1+y^r)x^{-1})$$ are given by noncommutative Laurent polynomials.
