In this article we study the double dimer model on hyperbolic Temperleyan graphs via circle packings. We prove that on such graphs, the weak limit of the dimer model exists if and only if the removed black vertex from the boundary of the…
We present a geometrical approach for studying dimers. We introduce a connection for dimer problems on bipartite and non-bipartite graphs. In the bipartite case the connection is flat but has non-trivial ${\bf Z}_2$ holonomy round certain…
We consider the monomer-dimer model on sequences of random graphs locally convergent to trees. We prove that the monomer density converges almost surely, in the thermodynamic limit, to an analytic function of the monomer activity. We…
We consider the disordered monomer-dimer model on cylinder graphs $\mathcal{G}_n$, i.e., graphs given by the Cartesian product of the line graph on $n$ vertices, and a deterministic graph. The edges carry i.i.d. random weights, and the…
This is a sequel to the second and third author's Mixed Dimer Configuration Model in Type $D$ Cluster Algebras where we extend our model to work for quivers that contain oriented cycles. Namely, we extend a combinatorial model for…
We study a model of fully-packed dimer configurations (or perfect matchings) on a bipartite periodic graph that is two-dimensional but not planar. The graph is obtained from $\mathbb Z^2$ via the addition of an extensive number of extra…
We propose a geometric counterpart of the dimer model on bipartite graphs. A state of our model consists of a choice of a point for each white vertex and hyperplane for each black vertex. This data is subject to certain conditions…
We consider the problem of generating uniformly random partitions of the vertex set of a graph such that every piece induces a connected subgraph. For the case where we want to have partitions with linearly many pieces of bounded size, we…
Working with Lieb's transfer matrix for the dimer model, we point out that the full set of dimer configurations may be partitioned into disjoint subsets (sectors) closed under the action of the transfer matrix. These sectors are labelled by…
We show that the number Z of q-edge-colourings of a simple regular graph of degree q is deducible from functions describing dimers on the same graph, viz. the dimer generating function or equivalently the set of connected dimer correlation…
We study planar "vertex" models, which are probability measures on edge subsets of a planar graph, satisfying certain constraints at each vertex, examples including dimer model, and 1-2 model, which we will define. We express the local…
In the dimer model, a configuration consists of a perfect matching of a fixed graph. If the underlying graph is planar and bipartite, such a configuration is associated to a height function. For appropriate "critical" (weighted) graphs,…
We study numerically, the distribution of the zeros of the grand partition function of $k$-mers on a $k \times L$ strip in the complex activity (z) plane. Using transfer matrix methods, we find that our results match the analytical…
The combinatorics of tilings of a hexagon of integer side-length $n$ by 120 degree - 60 degree diamonds of side-length 1 has a long history, both directly (as a problem of interest in thermodynamic models) and indirectly (through the…
The minimum feedback arc set problem asks to delete a minimum number of arcs (directed edges) from a digraph (directed graph) to make it free of any directed cycles. In this work we approach this fundamental cycle-constrained optimization…
Dominators provide a general mechanism for identifying reconverging paths in graphs. This is useful for a number of applications in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) including signal probability computation in biased random simulation, switching…
We derive an exact path integral formulation for the partition function for the Ising model using a mapping between spins and poles of a Laurent expansion for a field on the complex plane. The advantage in using this formulation for the…
We prove a conjecture on the relation between dimer models, coamoebas and vanishing cycles for the mirrors of two-dimensional toric Fano stacks of Picard number one. As a corollary, we obtain a torus-equivariant version of homological…
We study the dimer and Ising models on a finite planar weighted graph with periodic-antiperiodic boundary conditions, i.e. a graph $\Gamma$ in the Klein bottle $K$. Let $\Gamma_{mn}$ denote the graph obtained by pasting $m$ rows and $n$…
It is shown that the partition function of the 2d Ising model on the dual finite lattice with periodical boundary conditions is expressed through some specific combination of the partition functions of the model on the torus with…
