Abstract
The dimer model is a model of statistical mechanics corresponding to perfect matchings on graphs. I will first give a survey of classical results about the dimer model on planar bipartite graphs.
Then I will introduce the class of rail yard graphs which generalizes several known models, such as the Aztec diamond or plane partitions. I will explain how to compute the partition function and the correlations for rail yard graphs using a transfer matrix approach.
This is joint work with Cédric Boutillier, Jérémie Bouttier, Guillaume Chapuy and Sylvie Corteel.
