Abstract

Given a consistent bipartite graph Γ\Gamma in T2T^2 with a complex-valued edge weighting E\mathcal{E} we show the following two constructions are the same. The first is to form the Kasteleyn operator of (Γ,E)(\Gamma, \mathcal{E}) and pass to its spectral transform, a coherent sheaf supported on a spectral curve in (C×)2(\mathbb{C}^\times)^2. The second is to form the conjugate Lagrangian LTT2L \subset T^* T^2 of Γ\Gamma, equip it with a brane structure prescribed by E\mathcal{E}, and pass to its mirror coherent sheaf. This lives on a stacky toric compactification of (C×)2(\mathbb{C}^\times)^2 determined by the Legendrian link which lifts the zig-zag paths of Γ\Gamma (and to which the noncompact Lagrangian LL is asymptotic). We work in the setting of the coherent-constructible correspondence, a sheaf-theoretic model of toric mirror symmetry. We also show that tensoring with line bundles on the compactification is mirror to certain Legendrian autoisotopies of the asymptotic boundary of LL.
