The work develops a combinatorial framework linking dimer models and zigzag paths to the GIT stability parameter space Θ(Q)_ℝ for toric cDV singularities, enabling explicit tracking of stable representations through wall-crossings. It shows that chambers of Θ(Q)_ℝ correspond to sequences of zigzag paths, with walls determined by regions bounded by these paths and wall type reflecting slope relations, yielding flops or divisor-to-curve contractions under crossing. By constructing dimer models Γ_{a,b} for Δ(a,b) and analyzing the associated quivers, the authors describe how triangulations Δ_ω of the toric diagram encode the projective crepant resolutions 𝓜_ω and how stable perfect matchings implement these changes. The cD_4 case is treated with a parallel, albeit more intricate, analysis, producing a flop graph and GIT-region decomposition, and showing that all projective crepant resolutions are connected by wall-induced flops and derived-equivalent across walls. Overall, the paper provides a concrete, combinatorial mechanism to study moduli of stable representations and their geometric realizations as crepant resolutions, with explicit constructions and wall-crossing rules applicable to both cA-type and cD_4-type toric cDV singularities.
Abstract
A dimer model is a bipartite graph described on the real two-torus, and it gives the quiver as the dual graph. It is known that for any three-dimensional Gorenstein toric singularity, there exists a dimer model such that a GIT quotient parametrizing stable representations of the associated quiver is a projective crepant resolution of this singularity for some stability parameter. It is also known that the space of stability parameters has the wall-and-chamber structure, and for any projective crepant resolution of a three-dimensional Gorenstein toric singularity can be realized as the GIT quotient associated to a stability parameter contained in some chamber. In this paper, we consider dimer models giving rise to projective crepant resolutions of a toric compound Du Val singularity. We show that sequences of zigzag paths, which are special paths on a dimer model, determine the wall-and-chamber structure of the space of stability parameters. Moreover, we can track the variations of stable representations under wall-crossing using the sequences of zigzag paths.
