Abstract: Associated to a convex integral polygon $N$ is a cluster integrable system $mathcal{X}_N$ constructed from the dimer model. We compute the group $G_N$ of symmetries of $mathcal{X}_N$, called the (2-2) cluster modular group, showing that it is a certain abelian group conjectured by Fock and Marshakov. Combinatorially, non-torsion elements of $G_N$ are ways of shuffling the underlying bipartite graph, generalizing domino-shuffling. Algebro-geometrically, $G_N$ is a subgroup of the Picard group of a certain algebraic surface associated to $N$.

Summary: Associated to a convex integral polygon \(N\) is a cluster integrable system \(\mathcal{X}_N\) constructed from the dimer model. We compute the group \(G_N\) of symmetries of \(\mathcal{X}_N\), called the \((2-2)\) cluster modular group, showing that it is a certain abelian group conjectured by \textit{V. V. Fock} and \textit{A. Marshakov} [in: Geometry and quantization of moduli spaces. Based on 4 courses, Barcelona, Spain, March -- June 2012. Basel: Birkhäuser/Springer. 1--65 (2016; Zbl 1417.37248)]. Combinatorially, non-torsion elements of \(G_N\) are ways of shuffling the underlying bipartite graph, generalizing domino-shuffling. Algebro-geometrically, \(G_N\) is a subgroup of the Picard group of a certain algebraic surface associated to \(N\).
