Classical Dimers on Penrose Tilings

We study the classical dimer model on rhombic Penrose tilings, whose edges and vertices may be identified as those of a bipartite graph. We find that Penrose tilings do not admit perfect matchings (defect-free dimer coverings). Instead, their maximum matchings have a monomer density of 81−50φ≈0.098...
