Critical Ising model and spanning trees partition functions

We prove that the squared partition function of the two-dimensional critical Ising model defined on a finite, isoradial graph $G=(V,E)$, is equal to $2^{|V|}$ times the partition function of spanning trees of the graph $\bar{G}$, where $\bar{G}$ is the graph $G$ extended along the boundary; edges of $G$ are assigned Kenyon's [Ken02] critical weights, and boundary edges of $\bar{G}$ have specific weights. The proof is an explicit construction, providing a new relation on the level of configurations between two classical, critical models of statistical mechanics.

Quadri-tilings of the plane

We introduce {\em quadri-tilings} and show that they are in bijection with dimer models on a {\em family} of graphs $\{R^*\}$ arising from rhombus tilings. Using two height functions, we interpret a sub-family of all quadri-tilings, called {\em triangular quadri-tilings}, as an interface model in dimension 2+2. Assigning "critical" weights to edges of $R^*$, we prove an explicit expression, only depending on the local geometry of the graph $R^*$, for the minimal free energy per fundamental domain Gibbs measure; this solves a conjecture of \cite{Kenyon1}. We also show that when edges of $R^*$ are asymptotically far apart, the probability of their occurrence only depends on this set of edges. Finally, we give an expression for a Gibbs measure on the set of {\em all} triangular quadri-tilings whose marginals are the above Gibbs measures, and conjecture it to be that of minimal free energy per fundamental domain.

Conformal invariance of isoradial dimer models & the case of triangular quadri-tilings

We consider dimer models on graphs which are bipartite, periodic and satisfy a geometric condition called {\em isoradiality}, defined in \cite{Kenyon3}. We show that the scaling limit of the height function of any such dimer model is $1/\sqrtπ$ times a Gaussian free field. Triangular quadri-tilings were introduced in \cite{Bea}; they are dimer models on a family of isoradial graphs arising form rhombus tilings. By means of two height functions, they can be interpreted as random interfaces in dimension 2+2. We show that the scaling limit of each of the two height functions is $1/\sqrtπ$ times a Gaussian free field, and that the two Gaussian free fields are independent.
