Abstract
We attempt to relate two recent developments: cluster algebras associated to triangulations of surfaces by Fomin-Shapiro-Thurston, and quivers with potentials and their mutations introduced by Derksen-Weyman-Zelevinsky. To each ideal triangulation of a bordered surface with marked points we associate a quiver with potential, in such a way that whenever two ideal triangulations are related by a flip of an arc, the respective quivers with potentials are related by a mutation with respect to the flipped arc. We prove that if the surface has non-empty boundary, then the quivers with potentials associated to its triangulations are rigid and hence non-degenerate.
