Derivation of height field theory for the two-dimensional classical dimer model from a Grassmann-integral representation

Stephen Powell

The classical dimer model on bipartite lattices hosts a Coulomb phase, characterized by algebraic correlations and topological order. Its long-wavelength properties can be describe…

Derivation of field theory for the classical dimer model using bosonization

Neil Wilkins, Stephen Powell

We derive a field theory for the two-dimensional classical dimer model by applying bosonization to Lieb's (fermionic) transfer-matrix solution. Our constructive approach gives resu…

Quantum Kasteleyn transition

Stephen Powell

Dimer models arise as effective descriptions in a variety of physical contexts, and provide paradigmatic examples of systems subject to strong local constraints. Here we present a…

Topological sectors, dimer correlations and monomers from the transfer-matrix solution of the dimer model

Neil Wilkins, Stephen Powell

We solve the classical square-lattice dimer model with periodic boundaries and in the presence of a field that couples to the (vector) flux, by diagonalizing a mod…

Interacting double dimer model on the square lattice

Neil Wilkins, Stephen Powell

We study phases and transitions of the square-lattice double dimer model, consisting of two coupled replicas of the classical dimer model. As on the cubic lattice, we find a therma…

Synchronization transition in the double dimer model on the cubic lattice

Neil Wilkins, Stephen Powell

We study the classical cubic-lattice double dimer model, consisting of two coupled replicas of the close-packed dimer model, using a combination of theoretical arguments and Monte…
