The heat-flow conjecture for average lozenge orientations in dimer systems
The heat-flow conjecture for average lozenge orientations in dimer systems
Let be the limiting region with red boundary segments corresponding to constrained boundary conditions and blue segments corresponding to free boundary conditions. Let be translated finite unions of unit triangles in the interior of , shrinking to distinct points . Let be the field of average lozenge orientations, and let be the steady-state heat-flow vector field for the corresponding system with point sources at the and the stated insulating and constant-temperature boundary conditions. The heat-flow conjecture. There is a scalar constant , depending on , the portions of the boundary with each boundary condition, and the shapes of the , but not on the common temperature or the limiting points , such that
This conjectures that the macroscopic average orientation field of the dimer system is proportional to the heat-flow field of the associated steady-state physical system. The source provides no resolution, so the status is left open.
