Abstract
We define -multiwebs on planar graphs and discuss their relation with -webs. On a planar graph with a symplectic local system we define a matrix whose Pfaffian is the sum of traces of -multiwebs. As application we generalize Kasteleyn's theorem from dimer covers to -multiweb covers of planar graphs with gauge group. For we relate Kuperberg's ``tetravalent vertex'' to the determinant, and classify reduced -webs on some simple surfaces: the annulus, torus, and pair of pants. We likewise define, for and , a -valent vertex corresponding to the determinant, and classify reduced -webs on an annulus.
