Logarithmic conformal field theory and boundary effects in the dimer model.
We study the finite-size corrections of the dimer model on a square lattice with two different boundary conditions: free and periodic. We find that the finite-size corrections depend in a crucial way on the parity of ; we also show that such unusual finite-size behavior can be fully explained in the framework of the logarithmic conformal field theory.
