The dimer model realization conjecture for Laurent polynomials
Let be a lattice polygon containing the origin in its interior. Choose a Laurent polynomial whose Newton polygon coincides with , together with a distinguished basis of vanishing cycles on . For the argument map
Dimer model realization conjecture. For a suitable choice of and distinguished basis, there is a bicolored graph on such that an edge of corresponds to an intersection of vanishing cycles, a node of corresponds to a holomorphic disk bounded by vanishing cycles, the color of a node corresponds to the sign of the associated -operation, and the image of under the argument map is a consistent dimer model . The order on the distinguished basis gives a perfect matching , and the characteristic polygon of coincides with .
This conjecture predicts a direct geometric realization of consistent dimer models and perfect matchings from the vanishing-cycle data of a Laurent polynomial. It is motivated by the proposed relationship between dimer models and mirror symmetry; the supplied source does not state whether the conjecture is open or resolved.
