Statistics of close-packed dimers on fractal lattices

Abstract

We study the model of close-packed dimers on planar lattices belonging to the family of modified rectangular (MR) fractals, whose members are enumerated by an integer p2p\geq 2, as well as on the non-planar 4-simplex fractal lattice. By applying an exact recurrence enumeration method, we determine the asymptotic forms for numbers of dimer coverings, and numerically calculate entropies per dimer in the thermodynamic limit, for a sequence of MR lattices with 2p82\leq p\leq8 and for 4-simplex fractal. We find that the entropy per dimer on MR fractals is increasing function of the scaling parameter pp, and for every considered pp it is smaller than the entropy per dimer of the same model on 44-simplex lattice. Obtained results are discussed and compared with the results obtained previously on some translationally invariant and fractal lattices.
