Define the balanced part along mutation sequences for general n>2

Develop a definition of the balanced subalgebra $\mathcal Z_{\hat\omega}^{\rm bl}(\mathcal D_j)$ for each intermediate mutated seed $\mathcal D_j$ with $1\leq j\leq r-1$ in the quantum coordinate change framework for ${\rm SL}_n$ with $n>2$, so that a balanced part is available at every step of the mutation sequence rather than relying on the mutable-balanced subalgebra $\mathcal Z^{\rm mbl}$.

Background

To compare representations across triangulations, the paper uses balanced quantum coordinate changes and constructs representations via the balanced Fock–Goncharov algebra. For n=2n=2, a single mutation suffices and the balanced part can be handled directly.

For n>2n>2, the authors state they do not know how to define the balanced part Zω^bl(Dj)\mathcal Z_{\hat\omega}^{\rm bl}(\mathcal D_j) at intermediate stages of a mutation sequence, necessitating the use of the mutable-balanced subalgebra Zmbl\mathcal Z^{\rm mbl}. A definition of the balanced part for all intermediate seeds would strengthen the naturality and conceptual clarity of the framework.

References

When $n>2$, however, we do not know how to define the “balanced part” $\mathcal Z_{\hat\omega}{\rm bl}(\mathcal D_j)$ for $1\leq j\leq r-1$. Therefore, in Theorem \ref{thm-naturality} for general $n$, we must instead involve $\mathcal Z{\rm mbl}$.
