Partition function of periodic isoradial dimer models
  Isoradial dimer models were introduced in \cite{Kenyon3} - they consist of dimer models whose underlying graph satisfies a simple geometric condition, and whose weight function is chosen accordingly. In this paper, we prove a conjecture of \cite{Kenyon3}, namely that for periodic isoradial dimer models, the growth rate of the toroidal partition function has a simple explicit formula involving the local geometry of the graph only. This is a surprising feature of periodic isoradial dimer models, which does not hold in the general periodic dimer case \cite{KOS}.
