Calculating entries of unitary 𝑆𝐿_𝟹-friezes

In this article we consider tame $ SL_3 $-friezes that arise by specializing a cluster of Pl\"ucker variables in the coordinate ring of the Grassmannian $ \mathscr{G}(3,n) $ to $ 1 $. We show how to calculate arbitrary entries of such friezes from the cluster in question. Let $ \mathscr{F} $ be such a cluster. We study the set $ \mathscr{F}_x $ of cluster variables in $ \mathscr{F} $ that share a given index $ x $ and derive a structure Theorem for $ \mathscr{F}_x $. These sets prove central to calculating the first and last non-trivial rows of the frieze. After that, simple recursive formulas can be used to calculate all remaining entries.
