It is shown that dimers is Yang-Baxter integrable as a six-vertex model at the free-fermion point with crossing parameter $\lambda=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$. A one-to-many mapping of vertex onto dimer configurations allows the free-fermion solutions…

We study the eight-vertex model at its free-fermion point. We express a new "switching" symmetry of the model in several forms: partition functions, order-disorder variables, couplings, Kasteleyn matrices. This symmetry can be used to…

We study a class of close-packed dimer models on the square lattice, in the presence of small but extensive perturbations that make them non-determinantal. Examples include the 6-vertex model close to the free-fermion point, and the dimer…

In this paper, we explore a new class of integrable sigma models, which we refer to as the "dual regime" of Yang-Baxter (YB) deformed $\mathrm{O}(2N)$ sigma models. This dual regime manifests itself in the conformal perturbation approach.…

We study the conformal spectra of the critical square lattice Ising model on the Klein bottle and M\"obius strip using Yang-Baxter techniques and the solution of functional equations. In particular, we obtain expressions for the finitized…

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 the dilute $A_2^{(2)}$ loop models on the geometry of a strip of width $N$. Two families of boundary conditions are known to satisfy the boundary Yang-Baxter equation. Fixing the boundary condition on the two ends of the strip…

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…

The dimer model is the study of random dimer covers (perfect matchings) of a graph. A double-dimer configuration on a graph $G$ is a union of two dimer covers of $G$. We introduce quaternion weights in the dimer model and show how they can…

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…

In this note, we give a closed formula for the partition function of the dimer model living on a (2 x n) strip of squares or hexagons on the torus for arbitrary even n. The result is derived in two ways, by using a Potts model like…
