We use the tangent method to investigate the arctic curve in a model of non-intersecting lattice paths with arbitrary fixed starting points aligned along some boundary and whose distribution is characterized by some arbitrary piecewise…

We consider dimer models on growing Aztec diamonds, which are certain domains in the square lattice, with edge weights of the form $\nu(\,\cdot\,)^\beta$, where $\nu(\,\cdot\,)$ is a doubly periodic function on the edges of the lattice and…

The expanded Aztec diamond is a generalized version of the Aztec diamond, with an arbitrary number of long columns and long rows in the middle. In this paper, we count the number of domino tilings of the expanded Aztec diamond. The exact…

In the paper arXiv:1803.11463, the authors study the arctic curve arising in random tilings of some planar domains with an arbitrary distribution of defects on one edge. Using the tangent method they derive a parametric equation for…

We study the correlation functions for determinantal point processes defined by products of infinite minors of block Toeplitz matrices. The motivation for studying such processes comes from doubly periodically weighted tilings of planar…

We compare two methods for analysing periodic dimer models. These are the matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials approach due to Duits and one of the authors, and the Wiener-Hopf approach due to Berggren and Duits. We establish their…

We review the connections between the octahedral recurrence, $\lambda$-determinants and tiling problems. This provides in particular a direct combinatorial interpretation of the $\lambda$-determinant (and generalizations thereof) of an…

This paper explores the connection between perfect t-embeddings and the octahedron equation in the setting of the two-periodic Aztec diamond. In particular, we show that the positions of both the t-embedding and the corresponding origami…

We generalize a theorem of W. Jockusch and J. Propp on quartered Aztec diamonds by enumerating the tilings of quartered Aztec rectangles. We use subgraph replacement method to transform the dual graph of a quartered Aztec rectangle to the…

We consider the dimer model on the Aztec diamond with Fock's weights, which is gauge equivalent to the model with any choice of positive weight function. We prove an explicit, compact formula for the inverse Kasteleyn matrix, thus extending…

Here we study the two-periodic weighted dimer model on the Aztec diamond graph. In the thermodynamic limit when the size of the graph goes to infinity while weights are fixed, the model develops a limit shape with frozen regions near…

The inverse Kasteleyn matrix of a bipartite graph holds much information about the perfect matchings of the system such as local statistics which can be used to compute local and global asymptotics. In this paper, we consider three…

Motivated in part by Propp's intruded Aztec diamond regions, we consider hexagonal regions out of which two horizontal chains of triangular holes (called ferns) are removed, so that the chains are at the same height, and are attached to the…

For various sets of tiles, we count the ways to tile an Aztec diamond of order $n$ using tiles from that set. The resulting function $f(n)$ often has interesting behavior when one looks at $n$ and $f(n)$ modulo powers of 2.

We use the subgraph replacement method to investigate new properties of the tilings of regions on the square lattice with diagonals drawn in. In particular, we show that the centrally symmetric tilings of a generalization of the Aztec…

We study $k$-tilings ($k$-tuples of domino tilings) of the Aztec diamond of rank $m$. We assign a weight to each $k$-tiling, depending on the number of dominos of certain types and the number of "interactions" between the tilings. Employing…

We study random domino tilings of the Aztec diamond with different weights for horizontal and vertical dominoes. A domino tiling of an Aztec diamond can also be described by a particle system which is a determinantal process. We give a…

Domino tilings of Aztec diamonds are known to exhibit an arctic phenomenon, namely a separation between frozen regions (in which all the dominoes have the same orientation) and a central disordered region (where dominoes are found without…

We introduce a new method for studying gap probabilities in a class of discrete determinantal point processes with double contour integral kernels. This class of point processes includes uniform measures of domino and lozenge tilings as…

We consider the domino tilings of an Aztec diamond with a cut-off corner of macroscopic square shape and given size, and address the bulk properties of tilings as the size is varied. We observe that the free energy exhibits a third-order…
