Toric mutations in the \(\mathrm{dp}_2\) quiver and subgraphs of the \(\mathrm{dp}_2\) brane tiling (Q2415081)

Summary: Brane tilings are infinite, bipartite, periodic, planar graphs that are dual to quivers. In this paper, we study the del Pezzo 2 (\(\mathrm{dp}_2\)) quiver and its associated brane tiling which arise in theoretical physics. Specifically, we prove explicit formulas for all cluster variables generated by toric mutation sequences of the \(\mathrm{dp}_2\) quiver. Moreover, we associate a subgraph of the \(\mathrm{dp}_2\) brane tiling to each toric cluster variable such that the sum of weighted perfect matchings of the subgraph equals the Laurent polynomial of the cluster variable.
