Mixed Dimer Configuration Model in Type D Cluster Algebras

We define a combinatorial model for F-polynomials and g-vectors for type D_n cluster algebras where the associated quiver is acyclic. Our model utilizes a com-bination of dimer configurations and double dimer configurations which we refer to as mixed dimer configurations. In particular, we give a graph theoretic recipe that describes which monomials appear in such F-polynomials, as well as a graph theoretic way to determine the coefficients of each of these monomials. In addition, we prove that a weighting on our mixed dimer configuration model yields the associated g-vector. To prove this formula, we use a combinatorial formula due to Thao Tran (arXiv:0911.4462, 2009) and provide explicit bijections between her combinatorial model and our own.
