Abstract

We prove that the squared partition function of the two-dimensional critical Ising model defined on a finite, isoradial graph G=(V,E)G=(V,E), is equal to 2V2^{|V|} times the partition function of spanning trees of the graph Gˉ\bar{G}, where Gˉ\bar{G} is the graph GG extended along the boundary; edges of GG are assigned Kenyon's [Ken02] critical weights, and boundary edges of Gˉ\bar{G} have specific weights. The proof is an explicit construction, providing a new relation on the level of configurations between two classical, critical models of statistical mechanics.
