Abstract: Dimer models were originally introduced as statistical mechanical models of diatomic molecules in the 1930s, and developed into a substantial field at the intersection of physics and mathematics. In this talk, I will discuss aspects of dimer models related to symplectic topology (Lefschetz fibrations, Fukaya categories, ..) and representation theory (quivers with potentials, Calabi-Yau algebras, ...) with a view toward mirror symmetry.
