Abstract
We study the problem of dimer dissociation and reassociation in two dimensi ons through a random-walk-like calculation In order to find the probability of dimer reassociation after a given number of hops, we give the exact ana lytical solution for the probability of a first return into a given region (rhombus) for a two-dimensional random walker on a squared lattice.
