Conjecture on the thermodynamic limit of quadri-tiling Boltzmann measures

About 22 years old · traced to

Let T{\mathbb T} be a periodically tiled torus with lattice of periods Λ\Lambda, and let Tn=T/nΛ{\mathbb T}_n={\mathbb T}/n\Lambda be such that Tn∗{\mathbb T}_n^* is bipartite. Let Qn{\cal Q}_n be the triangular quadri-tilings whose underlying tiling is a lozenge tiling of Tn{\mathbb T}_n, and let μn\mu_n be their Boltzmann measures. Suppose a critical weight function is assigned to quadri-tiles. Thermodynamic-limit conjecture. The Gibbs measure of Corollary 4 is the limit of the Boltzmann measures μn\mu_n. This predicts that the infinite-volume Gibbs measure constructed from the lozenge and triangular tiling measures is obtained as the thermodynamic limit of the finite-volume Boltzmann measures; the source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
