Local lozenge probability conjecture for boxed plane partitions

From papers

Let α,β,γ\alpha,\beta,\gamma be the normalized side lengths of a hexagon, let (x,y)(x,y) be a normalized location in this hexagon, and let Pα,β,γ(x,y)\mathcal P_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma}(x,y) denote the limiting density of vertical lozenges there. Let VV be any open set in the hexagon containing the four points at which Pα,β,γ\mathcal P_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma} is discontinuous. Local lozenge probability conjecture. As the scaling factor σ\sigma\to\infty, the probability of finding a vertical lozenge at normalized location (x,y)V(x,y)\notin V is Pα,β,γ(x,y)+o(1)\mathcal P_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma}(x,y)+o(1), with the o(1)o(1) error bound uniform for (x,y)V(x,y)\notin V. This conjecture concerns local statistics that are not determined by the paper's macroscopic averaging theorem; numerical evidence and analogous results for domino tilings support it, but it remains unproved here.
