Abstract

In 2011 Musiker, Schiffler and Williams obtained expansion formulae for cluster algebras from orientable surfaces [16]. For singly and doubly notched arcs these formulae required the notion of γ-symmetric perfect matchings and γ-compatible pairs of γ-symmetric perfect matchings, respectively. We simplify and unify these approaches by considering good matchings of loop graphs.
