Abstract: Kasteleyn stated that the generating function of the perfect matchings of a
graph of genus g may be written as a linear combination of 4
g
Pfaffians. Here
we prove this statement. As a consequence we present a combinatorial way to
compute permanents of square matrices.
Other consequences will be presented in a forthcoming paper.

We present a theory of Pfaffian orientations of graphs, introduced by Kasteleyn ([7,
