Asymptotic domino statistics in the Aztec diamond

Chhita, Sunil, Johansson, Kurt, Young, Benjamin

Understand

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 relation between the correlation kernel for this process and the inverse Kasteleyn matrix of the Aztec diamond.
  • This gives a formula for the inverse Kasteleyn matrix which generalizes a result of Helfgott.
