abstract
We introduce twisted triple crossing diagram maps, collections of points in projective space associated to bipartite graphs on the cylinder, and use them to provide geometric realizations of the cluster integrable systems of Goncharov and Kenyon constructed from toric dimer models. Using this notion, we provide geometric proofs that the pentagram map and the cross-ratio dynamics integrable systems are cluster integrable systems. We show that in appropriate coordinates, cross-ratio dynamics is described by geometric $R$-matrices, which solves the open question of finding a cluster algebra structure describing cross-ratio dynamics.

Discrete curve theory in space forms: planar elastic and area-constrained elastic curves
In any 2-dimensional space form, discrete elastic curves are the 2-invariant curves and discrete area-constrained elastic curves are the 3-invariant curves of Bäcklund transformation flows.
