In this paper the author describes wall-crossing phenomena for local toric Calabi-Yau manifolds without compact four-cycles, in terms of free fermions, vertex operators, and crystal melting. Firstly, to each such manifold the author associates two states in the free fermion Hilbert space. The overlap of these states reproduces the BPS partition function corresponding to the noncommutative Donaldson-Thomas invariants, given by the modulus square of the topological string partition function. Secondly, the author introduces the wall-crossing operators which represent crossing the walls of marginal stability associated to changes of the B-field through each two-cycle in the manifold. The BPS partition functions in non-trivial chambers are given by the expectation values of these operators. Thirdly, the author discusses crystal interpretation of such correlators for this whole class of manifolds, and describes the evolution of these crystals upon a change of the moduli, and find crystal interpretation of the flop transition and the DT/PT transition. The crystals which arise generalize and unify various other Calabi-Yau crystal models which appeared in literature in recent years.
