The correlation functions of an arbitrary number of boundary monomers in the system of close-packed dimers on the square lattice are computed exactly in the scaling limit. The equivalence of the 2n-point correlation functions with those of a complex free fermion is proved, thereby reinforcing the description of the monomer-dimer model by a conformal free field theory with central charge c=1.
We study the finite-size corrections of the dimer model on $\infty \times N$ square lattice with two different boundary conditions: free and periodic. We find that the finite-size corrections depend in a crucial way on the parity of $N$, and show that, because of certain non-local features present in the model, a change of parity of $N$ induces a change of boundary condition. Taking a careful account of this, these unusual finite-size behaviours can be fully explained in the framework of the $c=-2$ logarithmic conformal field theory.
