Cross-ratio dynamics is a discrete integrable system on the space of polygons with vertices in CP^1. We relate an invariant Poisson structure and integrals of motion recently found by Arnold-Fuchs-Izmestiev-Tabachnikov for this system to the Goncharov-Kenyon dimer integrable system considered on a specific class of weighted graphs. We show that in some coordinates the dynamics is described by geometric R-matrices, which solves the open question of finding a cluster algebra structure describing cross-ratio dynamics. The main tool relating geometry to the dimer model uses the notion of triple crossing diagram maps, recently introduced by Affolter, Glick and myself.

This talk is based on joint work with Niklas Affolter (TU Berlin) and Terrence George (University of Michigan).
