  2. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • An Aztec diamond of order n is defined as the union of those lattice squares whose interiors lie inside the region {(x,y) : |x+y|<= n+1}.

  3. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • An Aztec diamond of order n is defined as the union of those lattice squares whose interiors lie inside the region {(x,y) : |x+y|<= n+1}. • A domino tiling of an Aztec diamond is a way to cover the region with 2 by 1 rectangles (dominoes) so that none of the dominoes overlap, and none of the dominoes extend outside the boundary of the region.

  4. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • An Aztec diamond of order n is defined as the union of those lattice squares whose interiors lie inside the region {(x,y) :|x+y|<= n+1}. • A domino tiling of an Aztec diamond is a way to cover the region with 2 by 1 rectangles (dominoes) so that none of the dominoes overlap, and none of the dominoes extend outside the boundary of the region.

  5. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • The number of domino tilings of an Aztec diamond is 2^(n(n+1)/2). Any of these tilings can be generated uniformly at random by a procedure called domino shuffling described in a paper of Elkies, Kuperberg, Larsen, and Propp.

  17. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • A domino is called North-going if it migrates north under shuffling, similarly for south, east, and west.

  18. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • Equivalently, they may be defined by the checkerboard coloring of the plane. A north going domino has a black square on the left and a white square on the right. A south going domino has a white square on the left and a black square on the right. Similarly for east and west.

  19. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • Equivalently, they may be defined by the checkerboard coloring of the plane. A north going domino has a black square on the left and a white square on the right. A south going domino has a white square on the left and a black square on the right. Similarly for east and west.

  20. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • We typically color the tiles red, yellow, blue, and green.

  21. Circles in Aztec Diamonds • A domino is called frozen if it can never be annihilated by further shuffling.

  22. Circles in Aztec Diamonds The Arctic Circle Theorem (Jockusch, Propp, Shor): As n (the order of the Aztec diamond) goes to infinity, the expected shape of the boundary between the frozen region and temperate zone is a circle.

  23. Circles in Aztec Diamonds The Arctic Circle Theorem (Jockusch, Propp, Shor): Examine the growth model on Young diagrams where each growth position has independent probability ½ of adding a box. This has limiting shape of a quarter-circle (suitably scaled).

  24. Circles in Aztec Diamonds Further Statistics of Aztec diamonds: (Cohn, Elkies, and Propp) – Expectations within the temperate zone

  25. Circles in Aztec Diamonds Further Statistics of Aztec diamonds: (Johansson) – Fluctuations about the circle. The method of non-intersecting paths, or Brownian motion model yields a link to random matrices and Tracy-Widom distribution. Johansson ultimately equated this model to the random growth model for the Young diagram.

  26. Aztec Diamonds in Groves Aztec diamonds can be enumerated by the octahedron recurrence. Let f(n) = the number of Aztec diamonds of order n. Then f(n)f(n-2) = 2f(n-1)^2. f(1) = 2 f(2) = 8 f(3) = (2f(2)^2)/f(1) = 64 f(4) = (2f(3)^2)/f(2) = 1024

  27. Aztec Diamonds in Groves Polynomial version of octahedron recurrence: f(i,j,k)f(i,j,k-2) = f(i-1,j,k-1)f(i+1,j,k-1)+f(i,j-1,k-1)f(i,j+1,k-1) where f(i,j,k) = x(i,j,k) if k=0,-1. Otherwise f(i,j,n) encodes all the tilings of an Aztec diamond of order n. The rational functions that are generated are not just rational in the x(i,j,k), they are Laurent polynomials.

  29. Aztec Diamonds in Groves • Cube Recurrence: f(i,j,k)f(i-1,j-1,k-1) = f(i-1,j,k)f(i,j-1,k-1)+f(i,j-1,k)f(i-1,j,k-1)+f(i-1,j-1,k)f(i,j,k-1) • The cube recurrence is a generalization of the octahedron recurrence. As shown by Fomin and Zelevinsky using cluster algebra methods, it also produces Laurent polynomials. But what do the polynomials encode?

  30. Aztec Diamonds in Groves Cube Recurrence: f(i,j,k)f(i-1,j-1,k-1) = f(i-1,j,k)f(i,j-1,k-1)+f(i,j-1,k)f(i-1,j,k-1)+f(i-1,j-1,k)f(i,j,k-1) = ??

  31. Aztec Diamonds in Groves Cube Recurrence: f(i,j,k)f(i-1,j-1,k-1) = f(i-1,j,k)f(i,j-1,k-1)+f(i,j-1,k)f(i-1,j,k-1)+f(i-1,j-1,k)f(i,j,k-1) = Groves

  32. Aztec Diamonds in Groves A grove is a new combinatorial object, due to Carroll and Speyer, given by the cube recurrence. Groves can be viewed as forests that live on a very special planar region or more intuitively, on a three dimensional surface with lattice point corners (- a big pile of cubes). What the surface looks like is specified by some initial conditions. Trivial initial conditions

  37. Aztec Diamonds in Groves Octahedron Recurrence: f(i,j,k)f(i,j,k-2) = f(i-1,j,k-1)f(i+1,j,k-1)+f(i,j-1,k-1)f(i,j+1,k-1) Cube Recurrence: f(i,j,k)f(i-1,j-1,k-1) = f(i-1,j,k)f(i,j-1,k-1)+f(i,j-1,k)f(i-1,j,k-1)+f(i-1,j-1,k)f(i,j,k-1) Remember that the octahedron recurrence is a special case of the cube recurrence.

  38. Aztec Diamonds in Groves There is a correspondence between tilings of Aztec diamonds of order n and certain groves on Aztec initial conditions of order n.
