The uniqueness conjecture for positive-entropy domino-tiling measures
The uniqueness conjecture for positive-entropy domino-tiling measures
Let denote the measure on domino tilings of the plane associated with tilt . A measure is conditionally uniform when, given a tiling outside any finite region, the conditional distribution inside that region is uniform; require also invariance under color-preserving translations, ergodicity, and positive entropy. Uniqueness conjecture. Every ergodic, conditionally uniform measure on the set of tilings of the plane that is invariant under color-preserving translations and has positive entropy is of the form for some satisfying . The paper notes that the measures are mixing and hence ergodic in the positive-entropy regime, but says that their characterization by these properties cannot be proved.
