Conformal invariance of domino tiling

Let U be a multiply connected region in R^ 2 with smooth boundary. Let P_ε be a polyomino in ² approximating U as ε → 0.We show that, for certain boundary conditions on P_, the height distribution on a random domino tiling (dimer covering) of P_ is conformally invariant in the limit as ε tends to 0, in the sense that the distribution of heights of boundary components (or rather, the difference of the heights from their mean values) only depends on the conformal type of U. The mean height is not strictly conformally invariant but transforms analytically under conformal mappings in a simple way. The mean height and all the moments are explicitly evaluated.
