Affine dimers from characteristic polygons

From MaRDI portal
Publication:5045934



Abstract: Recent work by Forsg{aa}rd indicates that not every convex lattice polygon arises as the characteristic polygon of an affine dimer or, equivalently, an admissible oriented line arrangement on the torus in general position. We begin the classification of convex lattice polygons arising as characteristic polygons of affine dimers. We present several general constructions of new affine dimers from old, and an algorithm for finding affine dimers with prescribed polygon. With these tools we prove that all lattice triangles, generalised parallelograms, and polygons of genus at most two admit an affine dimer.
