We give an explicit construction of the cluster scattering diagram for any acyclic exchange matrix of affine type. We show that the corresponding cluster scattering fan coincides both with the mutation fan and with a fan constructed in the almost positive roots model.

The aim of this paper is to establish a lattice theoretical framework to study the partially ordered set t o r s A \mathsf {tors} A of torsion classes over a finite-dimensional algebra A A . We show that t o r s A \mathsf {tors} A is a complete lattice which enjoys very strong properties, as bialgebraicity and complete semidistributivity . Thus its Hasse quiver carries the important part of its structure, and we introduce the brick labelling of its Hasse quiver and use it to study lattice congruences of t o r s A \mathsf {tors} A . In particular, we give a representation-theoretical interpretation of the so-called forcing order , and we prove that t o r s A \mathsf {tors} A is completely congruence uniform . When I I is a two-sided ideal of A A , t o r s ( A / I ) \mathsf {tors} (A/I) is a lattice quotient of t o r s A \mathsf {tors} A which is called an algebraic quotient , and the corresponding lattice congruence is called an algebraic congruence . The second part of this paper consists in studying algebraic congruences. We characterize the arrows of the Hasse quiver of t o r s A \mathsf {tors} A that are contracted by an algebraic congruence in terms of the brick labelling. In the third part, we study in detail the case of preprojective algebras Π \Pi , for which t o r s Π \mathsf {tors} \Pi is the Weyl group endowed with the weak order. In particular, we give a new, more representation theoretical proof of the isomorphism between t o r s k Q \mathsf {tors} k Q and the Cambrian lattice when Q Q is a Dynkin quiver. We also prove that, in type A A , the algebraic quotients of t o r s Π \mathsf {tors} \Pi are exactly its Hasse-regular lattice quotients.

The characterization of orbits of roots under the action of a Coxeter element is a fundamental tool in the study of finite root systems and their reflection groups. This paper develops the analogous tool in the affine setting, adding detail and uniformity to a result of Dlab and Ringel.

We generalize the almost positive roots model for cluster algebras from finite type to a uniform finite/affine type model. We define a subset \Phi_c of the root system and a compatibility degree on \Phi_c , given by a formula that is new even in finite type. The clusters (maximal pairwise compatible sets of roots) define a complete fan Fan _c(\Phi) . Equivalently, every vector has a unique cluster expansion. We give a piecewise linear isomorphism from the subfan of Fan _c(\Phi) induced by real roots to the \mathbf g -vector fan of the associated cluster algebra. We show that \Phi_c is the set of denominator vectors of the associated acyclic cluster algebra and conjecture that the compatibility degree also describes denominator vectors for non-acyclic initial seeds. We extend results on exchangeability of roots to the affine case.
