The dimer model is a statistical mechanical model that studys random dimer covers (perfect matchings) of a graph. Kasteleyn's theorem computes the number of dimer covers of a graph by calculating the determinant of a modified adjacency matrix. The generalizations of the theorem connect dimers to type A webs. I will talk about further generalizations to the type C case. This talk is based on upcoming joint work with Richard Kenyon.
