We study the classical dimer model on rhombic Penrose tilings, whose edges and vertices may be identified with those of a bipartite graph. We find that Penrose tilings do not admit perfect matchings (defect-free dimer coverings). Instead,…
We define the matching measure of a lattice L as the spectral measure of the tree of self-avoiding walks in L. We connect this invariant to the monomer-dimer partition function of a sequence of finite graphs converging to L. This allows us…
Recently an expansion as a power series in 1/d has been presented for the specific entropy of a complete dimer covering of a d-dimensional hypercubic lattice. This paper extends from 3 to 10 the number of terms known in the series. Likewise…
The finite volume correction for a mean-field monomer-dimer system with an attractive interaction are computed for the pressure density, the monomer density and the susceptibility. The results are obtained by introducing a two-dimensional…
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 investigate the approach to the universal regime of the dilute unitary Fermi gas as the density is reduced to zero in a lattice model. To this end we study the chemical potential, superfluid order parameter and internal energy of the…
We study the model of close-packed dimers on planar lattices belonging to the family of modified rectangular (MR) fractals, whose members are enumerated by an integer $p\geq 2$, as well as on the non-planar 4-simplex fractal lattice. By…
Let (lambda_d)(p) be the p monomer-dimer entropy on the d-dimensional integer lattice Z^d, where p in [0,1] is the dimer density. We give upper and lower bounds for (lambda_d)(p) in terms of expressions involving (lambda_(d-1))(q). The…
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 entropy of a set of identical hard objects, of general shape, with each object pivoted on the vertices of a d-dimensional regular lattice of lattice spacing a, but can have arbitrary orientations. When the pivoting point is…
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 study the problem of deterministic approximate counting of matchings and independent sets in graphs of bounded connective constant. More generally, we consider the problem of evaluating the partition functions of the monomer-dimer model…
We work with the following expression for the entropy (density) of a dimer gas on an infinite r-regular lattice lambda(p) = 1/2 [ pln(r)-ln(p)-2(1-p)ln(1-p)-p ]+sum_{k=2}(d_k)(p^k) where the indicated sum converges for density, p, small…
This paper focuses on asymptotic properties of random monomial ideals through a statistical viewpoint. It extends the study of redundancy in monomial ideals by analyzing the poset density of the LCM-lattice. We explore how this density…
The dimer problem arose in a thermodynamic study of diatomic molecules, and was abstracted into one of the most basic and natural problems in both statistical mechanics and combinatoric mathematics. Given a rectangular lattice of volume V…
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,…
This is a contribution to the number theory of the dimer problem. The number of dimer coverings (i.e., perfect matchings) of a square lattice graph is discussed modulo powers of 2.
We investigate the bipartite fidelity $\mathcal F_d$ for a lattice model described by a logarithmic CFT: the model of critical dense polymers. We define this observable in terms of a partition function on the pants geometry, where $d$…
We reassess the relation between classical lattice dimer models and the continuum elastic description of a lattice of fluctuating polymers. In the absence of randomness we determine the density and line tension of the polymers in terms of…
Trimers are chains formed by two lattice edges, and therefore three monomers. We consider trimers placed on the square lattice, the edges belonging to the same trimer are either colinear, forming a straight rod with unitary statistical…
