Cluster structure for Lie groups

The aim of the talk is to advertise the notion of the cluster structure with
the most widely known object --- simple Lie groups. The cluster approach
provides them with parameterization, giving especially simple explicit
expressions for many quantities, such as group multiplication, Gauss
decomposition, Drinfeld-Jimbo Poisson-Lie bracket, quantization of the space
of functions (without using $R$-matrix, positive structure, tropical limit
and others. One of the application of the cluster approach is an elementary
definition of the dual canonical basis of Lustig --- a certain
generalization of the Fourier transform for noncommutative groups.
