Emergence of cooperative dynamics in fully packed classical dimers

We study the behavior of classical dimer coverings of the square lattice—a paradigmatic model for systems subject to constraints—evolving under local stochastic dynamics, by means of Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical arguments. We observe clear signatures of correlated dynamics in both global...
