We generalize Di Francesco's construction of Aztec triangles. While we do not know whether there is again a correspondence with configurations in the twenty-vertex model, we prove closed-form product formulas for the number of domino tilings of our generalized Aztec triangles. As a special case, we obtain a proof of Di Francesco's conjectured formula for the number of domino tilings of his Aztec triangles, and thus for the number of the corresponding configurations in the twenty-vertex model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-02T20:32:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "05A19", "82B23" ], "keywords": [ "generalized aztec triangles", "domino tilings", "twenty-vertex model", "di francescos conjectured formula", "configurations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
