We solve the monomer-dimer problem on a non-bipartite lattice, the simple quartic lattice with cylindrical boundary conditions, with a single monomer residing on the boundary. Due to the non-bipartite nature of the lattice, the well-known…
We study the classical hard-core dimer model on the triangular lattice. Following Kasteleyn's fundamental theorem on planar graphs, this problem is soluble by Pfaffians. This model is particularly interesting for, unlike the dimer problems…

We present an application of the Grassmann algebra to the problem of the monomer-dimer statistics on a two-dimensional square lattice. The exact partition function, or total number of possible configurations, of a system of dimers with a…

In this work, some classical results of the pfaffian theory of the dimer model based on the work of Kasteleyn, Fisher and Temperley are introduced in a fermionic framework. Then we shall detail the bosonic formulation of the model {\it via}…
In a recent paper [ F. Wang and F. Y. Wu, Phys. Rev. E 75 (2007) 040105(R) ] we reported exact results on the enumeration of close-packed dimers on an infinite kagome lattice. We computed the per-dimer free energy using both the Pfaffian…
The exact enumeration of pure dimer coverings on the square lattice was obtained by Kasteleyn, Temperley and Fisher in 1961. In this paper, we consider the monomer-dimer covering problem (allowing multiple monomers) which is an outstanding…
The classical 1961 solution to the problem of determining the number of perfect matchings (or dimer coverings) of a rectangular grid graph -- due independently to Kasteleyn and to Temperley and Fisher -- consists of changing the sign of…
We develop a unified framework for Berezin integrals over Grassmann variables that establishes master identities for exponential quadratic fermionic forms and linear fermionic forms coupled to both bosonic and fermionic sources. The…
The Pfaffian structure of the boundary monomer correlation functions in the dimer-covering planar graph models is rederived through a combinatorial / topological argument. These functions are then extended into a larger family of…
We present analytic results for a special dimer model on the {\em non-bipartite} and {\em non-planar} checkerboard lattice that does not allow for parallel dimers surrounding diagonal links. We {\em exactly} calculate the number of closed…
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…
The decades-long search for a shape that tiles the plane only aperiodically under translations and rotations recently ended with the discovery of the `spectre' aperiodic monotile. In this setting we study the dimer model, in which dimers…
Matrix integrals used in random matrix theory for the study of eigenvalues of matrix ensembles have been shown to provide $ \tau $-functions for several hierarchies of integrable equations. In this paper, we construct the matrix integral…
We solve the classical square-lattice dimer model with periodic boundaries and in the presence of a field $\boldsymbol{t}$ that couples to the (vector) flux, by diagonalizing a modified version of Lieb's transfer matrix. After deriving the…

The classical monomer-dimer model in two-dimensional lattices has been shown to belong to the \emph{``#P-complete''} class, which indicates the problem is computationally ``intractable''. We use exact computational method to investigate the…
