Krattenthaler's 1/3-phenomenon conjecture for rhombus tilings
Let , , , and be arbitrary integers. Consider a hexagon with side lengths , , , , , and , and a horizontal rhombus whose bottom-most vertex is in oblique angled coordinates. Krattenthaler's 1/3-phenomenon conjecture. For some depending on , , , and , the probability that a randomly chosen rhombus tiling of this hexagon contains the specified rhombus is
for , where is a rational function in . This conjecture generalizes Propp's observation about the near-central rhombus in a hexagon with all side lengths equal.
