Matching Measure, Benjamini–Schramm Convergence and the Monomer–Dimer Free Energy

We define the matching measure of a lattice L as the spectral measure of the tree of self-avoiding walks in L. We connect this invariant to the monomer–dimer partition function of a sequence of finite graphs converging to L. This allows us to express the monomer–dimer free energy of L in terms of th...
