Atoms of the matching measure

Abstract: We prove that the matching measure of an infinite vertex-transitive connected graph has no atoms. Generalizing the results of Salez, we show that for an ergodic non-amenable unimodular random rooted graph with uniformly bounded degrees, the matching measure has only finitely many atoms. Ku and Chen proved the analogue of the Gallai-Edmonds structure theorem for non-zero roots of the matching polynomial for finite graphs. We extend their results for infinite graphs. We also show that the corresponding Gallai-Edmonds decomposition is compatible with the zero temperature monomer-dimer model. Joint work with András Mészáros.
