Kenyon–Okounkov conjecture for height fluctuations in random tilings
Kenyon–Okounkov conjecture for height fluctuations in random tilings
Let be the random height function of the model at scale , let be its expectation, let denote the liquid region, and let be the complex slope determining its complex structure. Kenyon–Okounkov conjecture. The random field
converges as in the liquid region to the Gaussian free field with respect to the complex slope and with Dirichlet boundary conditions. This conjecture predicts the next-order stochastic fluctuations around the limit shape: frozen regions have no fluctuations, while the centered height function in the liquid region has universal Gaussian-free-field asymptotics. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
