One of the main questions in the context of the universality and conformal invariance of a critical 2D lattice model is to find an embedding which geometrically encodes the weights of the model and that admits “nice” discretizations of Laplace and Cauchy-Riemann operators.

    We establish a correspondence between dimer models on a bipartite graph and circle patterns with the combinatorics of that graph. We describe how to construct a circle pattern embedding of a dimer planar graph using its Kasteleyn weights. This embedding is the generalization of the isoradial embedding and it is closely related to the T-graph embedding.

    Based on:
