Summary

This paper is the second part of our paper “Cluster ensembles, quantization, and the dilogarithm” [FG2].1 Its main result is a construction, by means of the quantum dilogarithm, of certain intertwiner operators, which play a crucial role in the quantization of the cluster \(\mathcal X\)-varieties and construction of the corresponding canonical representation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Both papers were originally combined into a single ArXiv preprint math/0311245, version 1.

  2. 2.

    The precise meaning we put into “intertwining” is clear from the computation carried out in the proof: we deal with the generators of the Heisenberg algebra only, and thus are not concerned with the nature of the topological completion, which was left unspecified in Section 3. Furthermore, we understand the intertwining property formally without paying attention to the domains of the definition of the generators of the Heisenberg algebra. For a different approach see [FG3].

  3. 3.

    See also a more transparent and less computational definition given in Section 3 of [FG3].
