Aʙʀ. -We show that the dimer model on a bipartite graph Γ on a torus gives rise to a quantum integrable system of special type, which we call a cluster integrable system.The phase space of the classical system contains, as an open dense subset, the moduli space L Γ of line bundles with connections on the graph Γ.The sum of Hamiltonians is essentially the partition function of the dimer model.We say that two such graphs Γ1 and Γ2 are equivalent if the Newton polygons of the corresponding partition functions coincide up to translation.We define elementary transformations of bipartite surface graphs, and show that two equivalent minimal bipartite graphs are related by a sequence of elementary transformations.For each elementary transformation we define a birational Poisson isomorphism L Γ 1 → L Γ 2 providing an equivalence of the integrable systems.We show that it is a cluster Poisson transformation, as defined in [10].We show that for any convex integral polygon N there is a non-empty finite set of minimal graphs Γ for which N is the Newton polygon of the partition function related to Γ. Gluing the varieties L Γ for graphs Γ related by elementary transformations via the corresponding cluster Poisson transformations, we get a Poisson space X N .It is a natural phase space for the integrable system.The Hamiltonians are functions on X N , parametrized by the interior points of the Newton polygon N .We construct Casimir functions whose level sets are the symplectic leaves of X N .The space X N has a structure of a cluster Poisson variety.Therefore the algebra of regular functions on X N has a non-commutative q-deformation to a * -algebra O q ( X N ).We show that the Hamiltonians give rise to a commuting family of quantum Hamiltonians.Together with the quantum Casimirs, they provide a quantum integrable system.Applying the general quantization scheme [11], we get a * -representation of the * -algebra O q ( X N ) in a Hilbert space.The quantum Hamiltonians act by commuting unbounded selfadjoint operators.For square grid bipartite graphs on a torus we get discrete quantum integrable systems, where the evolution is a cluster automorphism of the * -algebra O q ( X N ) commuting with the quantum Hamiltonians.We show that the octahedral recurrence, closely related to Hirota's bilinear difference equation [20], appears this way.Any graph G on a torus T gives rise to a bipartite graph ΓG on T. We show that the phase space X related to the graph ΓG has a Lagrangian subvariety R, defined in each coordinate system by a system of monomial equations.We identify it with the space parametrizing resistor networks on G.The pair ( X, R) has a large group of cluster automorphisms.In particular, for a hexagonal grid graph we get ANNALES SCIENTIFIQUES DE L'ÉCOLE NORMALE SUPÉRIEURE 0012-9593/05/
