Dimer model

introduction

• relation to Bethe ansatz http://staff.science.uva.nl/~nienhuis/tiles.pdf
• domino tilings http://www-math.mit.edu/~rstan/transparencies/tilings3.pdf

 

 

basic notions

• dimer configurations
• set of dimer configurations
• partition function
• Kasteleyn matrix

 

 

physics motivation

• Dimer configuration can be considered as the covering of the graph by pairs of fermions connected by an edge

 

 

Termperley equivalence

• spanning trees on \gamma rooted at x
• Dimers on D(\gamma)

 

 

Domino tiling and height function

• bipartite graph

 

 

energy and weight systems

• define a weight functionon the edges of the graph \gamma
  \(w:E(\Gamma)\to \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}\)
  
• For a dimer configuration D,
  \(w(D)=\prod_{e\in D} w(e)\)
  
• energy function
  \(\epsilon:E(\Gamma)\to \mathbb{R}\)
  
• For a dimer configuration D,
  \(\epsilon(D)=\sum_{e\in D} \epsilon(e)\)
  
• energy and weight function
  \(w(e)=\exp (-\frac{\epsilon(e)}{T})\)
  
• partition function
  \(Z_{\Gamma}=\sum_{D\subset \Gamma} \prod_{e\in D} w(e)\)
  

 

 

mathematica code

1. detk[m_, n_] :=
    N[Product[
      Product[2 Cos[(Pi*l)/(m + 1)] + 2 I*Cos[(Pi*k)/(n + 1)], {k, 1,
        n}], {l, 1, m}], 10]
   Z[m_, n_] := Round[Sqrt[Abs[detk[m, n]]]]
   Z[8, 8]
