We study asymptotics of the dimer model on large toric graphs. Let $\mathbb L$ be a weighted $\mathbb{Z}^2$-periodic planar graph, and let $\mathbb{Z}^2 E$ be a large-index sublattice of $\mathbb{Z}^2$. For $\mathbb L$ bipartite we show…
We give a complete rigorous proof of the full asymptotic expansion of the partition function of the dimer model on a square lattice on a torus for general weights $z_h, z_v$ of the dimer model and arbitrary dimensions of the lattice $m, n$.…
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 monopole-dimer model is a signed variant of the monomer-dimer model which has determinantal structure. We extend the monopole-dimer model for planar graphs (Math. Phys. Anal. Geom., 2015) to Cartesian products thereof and show that the…
The partition function of the Ising model of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is defined as $Z_{\text{Ising}}(G;b)=\sum_{\sigma:V\to \{0,1\}} b^{m(\sigma)}$, where $m(\sigma)$ denotes the number of edges $e=\{u,v\}$ such that $\sigma(u)=\sigma(v)$. We…
On a finite weighted graph, the dimer model is a probability measure on its dimer covers, that assigns to any cover a probability proportional to the product of the weights of its edges. For planar bipartite graphs, dimer correlations are…
We discuss how to apply the dimer method to Ising models on group lattices having non trivial topological genus $g$. We find that the use of group extension and the existence of both external and internal group isomorphisms greatly reduces…
We give a Pfaffian formula to compute the partition function of the Ising model on any graph $G$ embedded in a closed, possibly non-orientable surface. This formula, which is suitable for computational purposes, is based on the relation…
We study the partition function from random matrix theory using a well known connection to orthogonal polynomials, and a recently developed Riemann-Hilbert approach to the computation of detailed asymptotics for these orthogonal…
We study a large class of critical two-dimensional Ising models, namely critical Z-invariant Ising models. Fisher [Fis66] introduced a correspondence between the Ising model and the dimer model on a decorated graph, thus setting dimer…
Given a weighted graph $G$ embedded in a non-orientable surface $\Sigma$, one can consider the corresponding weighted graph $\widetilde{G}$ embedded in the so-called orientation cover $\widetilde\Sigma$ of $\Sigma$. We prove identities…
We study various mathematical aspects of discrete models on graphs, specifically the Dimer and the Ising models. We focus on proving gluing formulas for individual summands of the partition function. We also obtain partial results regarding…
We present detailed calculations for the partition function and the free energy of the finite two-dimensional square lattice Ising model with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions, variable aspect ratio, and anisotropic couplings,…
The $Z$-invariant Ising model (Baxter in Philos Trans R Soc Lond A Math Phys Eng Sci 289(1359):315--346, 1978) is defined on an isoradial graph and has coupling constants depending on an elliptic parameter $k$. When $k=0$ the model is…
Isoradial dimer models were introduced in \cite{Kenyon3} - they consist of dimer models whose underlying graph satisfies a simple geometric condition, and whose weight function is chosen accordingly. In this paper, we prove a conjecture of…
The dimer (monomer-dimer) model deals with weighted enumeration of perfect matchings (matchings). The monopole-dimer model is a signed variant of the monomer-dimer model whose partition function is a determinant. In 1999, Lu and Wu…
We study the partition function of both Close-Packed Dimers and the Critical Ising Model on a square lattice embedded on a genus two surface. Using numerical and analytical methods we show that the determinants of the Kasteleyn adjacency…
The antiferromagnetic Ising model samples subsets of vertices of a graph with weight decaying exponentially in the number of edges induced. We study the problem of sampling from this model on the class of bipartite, regular graphs with good…
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…
Rail-yard graphs are a general class of graphs introduced in \cite{bbccr} on which the random dimer coverings form Schur processes. We study asymptotic limits of random dimer coverings on rail yard graphs with free boundary conditions on…
