Abstract
Following the proof of the purity conjecture for weakly separated collections, recent years have revealed a variety of wider examples of purity in different settings. In this paper we consider the collection AI,J of sets that are weakly separated from two fixed sets I and J. We show that all maximal by inclusion weakly separated collections W ⊂A I, J are also maximal by size, provided that I and J are sufficiently “generic”. We also give a simple formula for the cardinality of Win terms of I and J. We apply our result to calculate the cluster distance and to give lower bounds on the mutation distance between cluster variables in the cluster algebra structure on the coordinate ring of the Grassmannian. Using a linear projection that relates weak separation to the octahedron recurrence, we also find the exact mutation distances and cluster distances for a family of cluster variables.
