Figure 11

Toric diagram for the resolution of 3 / 𝑁 + 1 geometry has 𝑁 + 1 vertices of the same type . (a): toric diagram for 𝑁 = 1 and arrow representation of 𝐴 + and 𝑊 1 . In the noncommutative chamber, this leads to the same plane partition crystal as in Figure 10, however colored now in yellow and red. (b): for the chamber with positive 𝑅 and 2 < 𝐵 < 3 , the crystal develops two additional corners and its generating function reads 𝑍 2 | 1 = Ω + | ( 𝑊 1 ) 2 | Ω . (c): for negative 𝑅 and positive 𝑛 1 < 𝐵 < 𝑛 the crystal is finite along two axes and develops 𝑛 1 yellow corners; its generating function for the case of 𝑛 = 5 shown in the picture reads 𝑍 5 | 1 = 0 | ( 𝑊 1 ) 5 | 0 (two external arrows, corresponding to Γ acting on 0 | and Γ + acting on | 0 , are suppressed.).
