The polynomial formula conjecture for six-lozenge tilings

Let Ln,lL_{n,l} denote the number of lozenge tilings of the equilateral triangle of side length nn containing ll lozenges, and let Mn1M_{n-1} be the polynomial appearing in the upper bound for Ln,lL_{n,l}. For n4n\ge 4, the six-lozenge polynomial conjecture.

Ln,6=(Mn16)[3(n1)2(Mn124)116(131088+61472n41206n3+69420n290n6918n7+153n810851n4+9828n5)]L_{n,6}=\binom{M_{n-1}}{6}-\bigg[3(n-1)^2\binom{M_{n-1}-2}{4}-\frac{1}{16}(-131088+61472n-41206n^3+69420n^2-90n^6-918n^7+153n^8-10851n^4+9828n^5)\bigg] =15120(81n12486n112835n10+21870n9+26775n8384786n7+131751n6+3275730n53798716n413254088n3+22481984n2+19678080n42024960).=\frac{1}{5120}(81n^{12}-486n^{11}-2835n^{10}+21870n^9+26775n^8-384786n^7+131751n^6+3275730n^5-3798716n^4-13254088n^3+22481984n^2+19678080n-42024960).

This is part of the proposed polynomial pattern for Ln,lL_{n,l}, in which the leading upper bound has degree 2l2l and the first- and second-order corrections have degrees 2l22l-2 and 2l42l-4, respectively. The formula is presented as a conjectural consequence of the observed correction pattern.
