Abstract
The Aztec diamond of order is the union of lattice squares in the plane intersecting the square . The Aztec diamond theorem states that the number of domino tilings of this shape is . It was first proved by Elkies, Kuperberg, Larsen and Propp in 1992. We give a new simple proof of this theorem.
