The arctic octahedron phenomenon in three-dimensional codimension-one rhombohedral tilings
We calculate the configurational entropy of codimension-one three-dimensional random rhombus tilings. We use threedimensional integer partitions to represent these tilings. We apply transition matrix Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate their entropy with high precision. We explore freeas well as fixed-boundary conditions and our numerical results suggest that the ratio of freeand fixed-boundary...
متن کاملAn n-Dimensional Generalization of the Rhombus Tiling
Several classic tilings, including rhombuses and dominoes, possess height functions which allow us to 1) prove ergodicity and polynomial mixing times for Markov chains based on local moves, 2) use coupling from the past to sample perfectly random tilings, 3) map the statistics of random tilings at large scales to physical models of random surfaces, and and 4) are related to the “arctic circle” ...
متن کاملRhombus Tilings of a Hexagon with Three Missing Border Triangles
The interest in rhombus tilings has emerged from the enumeration of plane partitions in a given box (which was first carried out by MacMahon [5]). The connection comes from looking at the stacks of cubes of a plane partition from the right direction and projecting the picture to the plane. Then the box becomes a hexagon, where opposite sides are equal, and the cubes become a rhombus tiling of t...
متن کاملThe Multidimensional Cube Recurrence
We introduce a recurrence which we term the multidimensional cube recurrence, generalizing the octahedron recurrence studied by Propp, Fomin and Zelevinsky, Speyer, and Fock and Goncharov and the three-dimensional cube recurrence studied by Fomin and Zelevinsky, and Carroll and Speyer. The states of this recurrence are indexed by tilings of a polygon with rhombi, and the variables in the recurr...
متن کاملEnumeration of Rhombus Tilings of a Hexagon which Contain a Fixed Rhombus in the Centre
Let a, b and c be positive integers and consider a hexagon with side lengths a,b,c,a,b,c whose angles are 120◦ (see Figure 1). The subject of our interest is rhombus tilings of such a hexagon using rhombi with all sides of length 1 and angles 60◦ and 120◦. Figure 2 shows an example of a rhombus tiling of a hexagon with a = 3, b = 5 and c = 4. A first natural question to be asked is how many rho...
