Non-Local Finite-Size Effects in the Dimer Model

We study the finite-size corrections of the dimer model on ∞ × 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...
