Conformal invariance of domino tiling, Part I |
Joe Chen |
| Setting the scene: Introduction to domino tiling and the dimer model, height function, and Gaussian free fields. Stated (and clarified) Kenyon's theorems on conformal invariance of height variation, and the convergence of height variation to GFF. |

Conformal invariance of domino tiling, Part II |
Joe Chen |
|
|
<

| Covered Kasteleyn matrix, coupling function, convergence of the coupling function to $F_0, F_1$, which transform analytically under conformal maps. |
|
>
> |
| Covered Kasteleyn matrix, coupling function (a Cauchy kernel), convergence of the coupling function to $F_0, F_1$, which transform analytically under conformal maps. |

Dominos and the Gaussian Free Field |
Joe Chen |
|
|
<

| Will finish showing how $F_0, F_1$ enter into the moment formula of the height function. Then convergence to GFF |
|
>
> |
| Will clarify the connection between the coupling function and the Green's function. The rest is to show how $F_0, F_1$ enter into the moment formula of the height function, from which convergence to GFF is proved. |
