In order to solve in this context the factorization problem, Berenstein, Fomin and Zelevinsky introduced twisted minors. We show that these twisted minors correspond essentially to the inverse of Auslander-Reiten translate of the summands of . More generally, one could say that the Auslander-Reiten translate in categorifies the twist automorphism of []. This allows us to compare the above mentioned cluster character with the Caldero-Fu-Keller cluster character.
