Abstract

For a lattice Λ\Lambda with nn vertices and dimension dd equal or higher than two, the number of spanning trees NST(Λ)N_{ST}(\Lambda) grows asymptotically as exp(nzΛ)\exp(n z_\Lambda) in the thermodynamic limit. We present exact integral expressions for the asymptotic growth constant zΛz_\Lambda for spanning trees on several lattices. By taking different unit cells in the calculation, many integration identities can be obtained. We also give zΛ(p)z_{\Lambda (p)} on the homeomorphic expansion of kk-regular lattices with pp vertices inserted on each edge.
