dc.descriptionWe consider dynamics of classical dimer models undergoing a phase transition to an ordered, frozen state. Relaxation processes are dominated by traps which are entropic in origin and can be traced to the locally jammed nature of the dimer states. Depending on the nature of the phase transition, critical dynamics are characterized either by an exponential, or sub-exponential in time relaxation of the order parameter. In the latter case relaxation time scales diverge {\em exponentially} as the critical point is approached, following the Vogel-Fulcher law.
