7. A topological sector is defined as the following. Draw a line through the system, without touching any site. For a given topological sector, the number of dimers which cross that line is invariant mod2 under local rearrangements of the dimer covering (see, e.g., Ref.).

21. Kasteleyn's theorem may be generalized to allow complex phase factors in the weighted adjacency matrix: for a transition cycle passing through sites 1,2,...,2n, the phase factors must satisfy η12 η34... η2n-1,2n =- η23 η45... η2n,1. Complex phase factors provide a more elegant solution of the square lattice dimer model (Ref.). However, they do not help in the case of the kagome lattice (Ref.) or TKL; we have found that any orientation with the periodicity of the original lattice violates the generalized Kasteleyn theorem even if the phase factors are allowed to be arbitrary complex numbers.
22. The expression for S does not simplify appreciably when F, etc., are substituted in.

26. The long-distance behavior can also be seen from the perspective of the quantum dimer model of Ref., in that each monomer removes an Ising degree of freedom since it merges two hexagons. Therefore each monomer removes half of the configurations (Ref.).
