RESUMO
We solve the dimer model on two different planar lattices, the 4-8 lattice and the honeycomb lattice. In the dimer model on the 4-8 lattice there is a phase transition of the (two-dimensional) Ising type; on the honeycomb lattice there is a phase transition known as 3/2. After defining the model we show that the calculation of the partition function can be formulated as the trace of a transfer matrix that is written in terms of Pauli matrices. Using the Jordan-Wigner transformation, the Pauli matrices give rise to fermion creation and annihilation operators, and the problem is reduced to the diagonalization of a system of free fermions. We compare the solutions of the dimer model on the 4-8 lattice and of the two-dimensional Ising model; in particular, we compare the behavior of the specific heat and we analyze the spectrum of the transfer matrix. These solutions agree with well-known results from combinatorial techniques. We then use the transfer matrix approach to obtain a continuum time formulation for the dimer models on the square, 4-8 an d honeycomb lattices. In contrast to the Ising case, for the dimer models this approximation changes the nature of critical behavior.
