The torus-to-plane convergence conjecture for domino configurations

From papers

Let (s,t)(s,t) satisfy s+t2|s|+|t| \leq 2, and let a,b,c,da,b,c,d be weights satisfying ab=cdab=cd such that the average height function for weighted torus tilings has tilt (s,t)(s,t). Let μs,t\mu_{s,t} be the associated measure on domino tilings of the plane, invariant under color-preserving translations and conditionally uniform. Torus-to-plane convergence conjecture. For any colored configuration of dominos, the probability of finding it in a specified location in a random n×nn \times n torus tiling converges as nn \rightarrow \infty to the value given by the measure μs,t\mu_{s,t}. Proposition coupling-function calculations approach this claim but, as stated in the paper, restrict nn to a large subset of the integers rather than all sufficiently large nn.
