translations and rotations recently ended with the discovery of the “spectre” aperiodic
monotile. In this setting we study the dimer model, in which dimers are placed along tile
edges such that each vertex meets precisely one dimer. The complexity of the tiling
combines with the dimer constraint to allow an exact solution to the model. The partition
function is Z= 2 N mystic+ 1 where N mystic is the number of “mystic” tiles. We exactly solve …
