Darboux coordinates for symplectic groupoid and cluster algebras

Abstract: Using Fock--Goncharov higher Teichm\"uller space variables we derive Darboux coordinate representation for entries of general symplectic leaves of the $\mathcal A_n$ groupoid of upper-triangular matrices and, in a more general setting, of higher-dimensional symplectic leaves for algebras governed by the reflection equation with the trigonometric $R$-matrix. The obtained results are in a perfect agreement with the previously obtained Poisson and quantum representations of groupoid variables for $\mathcal A_3$ and $\mathcal A_4$ in terms of geodesic functions for Riemann surfaces with holes. We represent braid-group transformations for $\mathcal A_n$ via sequences of cluster mutations in the special $\mathbb A_n$-quiver. We prove the groupoid relations for quantum transport matrices and, as a byproduct, obtain the Goldman bracket in the semiclassical limit.
