Abstract
Motivated by the definition of super-Teichmüller spaces, and Penner–Zeitlin’s recent extension of this definition to decorated super-Teichmüller space, as examples of super Riemann surfaces, we use the super Ptolemy relations to obtain formulas for super λ-lengths associated to arcs in a bordered surface. In the special case of a disk, we are able to give combinatorial expansion formulas for the super λ-lengths associated to diagonals of a polygon in the spirit of Ralf Schiffler’s T-path formulas for type A cluster algebras. We further connect our formulas to the super-friezes of Morier-Genoud, Ovsienko, and Tabachnikov, and obtain partial progress towards defining super cluster algebras of type An. In particular, following Penner–Zeitlin, we are able to get formulas (up to signs) for the µ-invariants associated to triangles in a triangulated polygon, and explain how these provide a step towards understanding odd variables of a super cluster algebra.
