Dimer Model: Full Asymptotic Expansion of the Partition Function

Abstract

We give a complete rigorous proof of the full asymptotic expansion of the partition function of the dimer model on a square lattice on a torus for general weights $z_h, z_v$ of the dimer model and arbitrary dimensions of the lattice $m, n$. We assume that $m$ is even and we show that the asymptotic expansion depends on the parity of $n$. We review and extend the results of Ivashkevich, Izmailian, and Hu [6] on the full asymptotic expansion of the partition function of the dimer model, and we give a rigorous estimate of the error term in the asymptotic expansion of the partition function.
