ALE scaling-limit conjecture for the folded dimer model on G^\hat{\mathcal G}

Let G^\hat{\mathcal G} be obtained by adjoining to a graph G\mathcal G its reflection across the real axis while retaining one copy of vertices on the real axis. Let MM be an infinite-volume dimer cover of G^\hat{\mathcal G}, and define its reflected superposition by

Σ^=MH(M)H.\hat{\Sigma}=M|_{\mathbb H}\cup(-M)|_{-\mathbb H}.

The boundary-touching curves of Σ^\hat{\Sigma} are the curves of interest. Folding ALE conjecture. In the scaling limit, the collection of boundary-touching curves in Σ^\hat{\Sigma} converges to the Arc Loop Ensemble, denoted by ALE\mathrm{ALE}, in the upper half-plane. The associated height function is expected to converge to a Neumann Gaussian free field normalization, motivating the ALE prediction; the source gives no resolution.
