Abstract: Given a weighted graph $G$ embedded in a non-orientable surface $Sigma$, one can consider the corresponding weighted graph $widetildeG$ embedded in the so-called orientation cover $widetildeSigma$ of $Sigma$. We prove identities relating twisted partition functions of the dimer model on these two graphs. When $Sigma$ is the M"obius strip or the Klein bottle, then $widetildeSigma$ is the cylinder or the torus, respectively, and under some natural assumptions, these identities imply relations between the genuine dimer partition functions $Z(G)$ and $Z(widetildeG)$. For example, we show that if $G$ is a locally but not globally bipartite graph embedded in the M"obius strip, then $Z(widetildeG)$ is equal to the square of $Z(G)$. This extends results for the square lattice previously obtained by various authors.
