Cluster algebras and higher order generalizations of the \(q\)-Painleve equations of type \(A_7^{(1)}\) and \(A_6^{(1)}\). (English) Zbl 1517.13019

Summary: We construct higher order generalizations of the \(q\)-Painlevé equations of surface type \(A_7^{(1)}\) and \(A_6^{(1)}\) based on the cluster algebras corresponding to certain quivers. These equations possess the affine Weyl group symmetries of type \(A_1^{(1)}\) and \((A_1+A'_1)^{(1)}\), respectively. We show that these equations and symmetries can be realized as birational canonical transformations. A relationship between the quivers and the discrete KdV equation is also discussed.
