Abstract
For each simple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {g}\), we construct an algebra embedding of the quantum group \(\mathcal {U}_q(\mathfrak {g})\) into certain quantum torus algebra \(\mathcal {D}_\mathfrak {g}\) via the positive representations of split real quantum group. The quivers corresponding to \(\mathcal {D}_\mathfrak {g}\) is obtained from an amalgamation of two basic quivers, each of which is mutation equivalent to one describing the cluster structure of the moduli space of framed G-local system on a disk with 3 marked points on its boundary when G is of classical type. We derive a factorization of the universal R-matrix into quantum dilogarithms of cluster monomials, and show that conjugation by the R-matrix corresponds to a sequence of quiver mutations which produces the half-Dehn twist rotating one puncture about the other in a twice punctured disk.
