Dimer coverings (or perfect matchings) of a finite graph are classical objects of graph theory appearing in the study of exactly solvable models of statistical mechanics. We introduce more general dimer labelings which form a topological…
For a class of irrational numbers, depending on their Diophantine properties, we construct explicit rank-one transformations that are totally ergodic and not weakly mixing. We classify when the measure is finite or infinite. In the finite…
The dimer model is a classical statistical mechanics model which is exactly solvable in two dimensions, but about which little is known in higher dimensions. In analogy with large $N$ limits in lattice gauge theory, we study a large $N$…
We study images of equilibrium (Gibbs) states for a class of non-invertible transformations associated to conformal iterated function systems with overlaps $\mathcal S$. We prove exact dimensionality for these image measures, and find a…
The enumeration of perfect matchings of graphs is equivalent to the dimer problem which has applications in statistical physics. A graph $G$ is said to be $n$-rotation symmetric if the cyclic group of order $n$ is a subgroup of the…
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 consider close-packed dimers, or perfect matchings, on two-dimensional regular lattices. We review known results and derive new expressions for the free energy, entropy, and the molecular freedom of dimers for a number of lattices…
We use computational method to investigate the number of ways to pack dimers on \emph{odd-by-odd} lattices. In this case, there is always a single vacancy in the lattices. We show that the dimer configuration numbers on $(2k+1) \times…
For dynamical systems with the shadowing property, we provide a method of approximation of invariant measures by ergodic measures supported on odometers and their almost 1-1 extensions. For a topologically transitive system with the…
The XOR-Ising model on a graph consists of random spin configurations on vertices of the graph obtained by taking the product at each vertex of the spins of two independent Ising models. In this paper, we explicitly relate loop…
In the usual statistical model of a dense polymer (a single space-filling loop on a lattice) in two dimensions the loop does not cross itself. We modify this by including intersections in which {\em three} lines can cross at the same point,…
For $\mu$ an edge percolation measure on the infinite square lattice, let $\mu_{\textit{hp}}$ (respectively, $\mu^*_{hp}$) denote its marginal (respectively, the marginal of its planar dual process) on the upper half-plane. We show that if…
The current paper is a short review of rigorous results for the 1-2 model. The 1-2 model on the hexagonal lattice is a model of statistical mechanics in which each vertex is constrained to have degree either 1 or 2. It was proposed in a…
The main result of this paper is that two large collections of ergodic measure preserving systems, the Odometer Based and the Circular Systems have the same global structure with respect to joinings. The classes are canonically isomorphic…
We show that a simple geometric result suffices to derive the form of the optimal solution in a large class of finite and infinite-dimensional maximum entropy problems concerning probability distributions, spectral densities and covariance…
The theorem of Shannon-McMillan-Breiman states that for every generating partition on an ergodic system of finite entropy the exponential decay rate of the measure of cylinder sets equals the metric entropy almost everywhere. In addition…
We introduce quantum dimer models on lattices made of corner-sharing triangles. These lattices includes the kagome lattice and can be defined in arbitrary geometry. They realize fully disordered and gapped dimer-liquid phase with…
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…
Given an entire transcendental function f with a non-completely invariant Baker domain, we define a Baker lamination on geodesics to study the divergence and convergence of a pinching process of curves in U. If the boundary of some curve in…
We show that for a minimal system $(X,T)$, the set of saturated points along cubes with respect to its maximal $\infty$-step pro-nilfactor $X_\infty$ has a full measure. As an application, it is shown that if a minimal system $(X,T)$ has no…
