Let a,b,c,m be nonnegative integers, with a of parity different from the parity of both b and c. Consider a hexagon with side lengths a,b+m,c,a+m,b,c+m, from which an equilateral triangle of side length m is removed in the three-halves-unit off-center position described in the source. Let H denote the hyperfactorial function, and define P2(a,b,c,m) by
P2(a,b,c,m)={((a+b)2−1)((a+c)2−1)+4am(a2+2ab+b2+2ac+3bc+c2)+2am+3bm+3cm+2m2−1,((a+b)2−1)((a+c)2−1)+4(a+b+c+m)m(a2+bc−1),a even,a odd.
Three-halves-unit shifted-hole tiling conjecture. The number of lozenge tilings of this hexagon with the triangular hole equals
161H(a+b+m)H(a+c+m)H(b+c+m)H(a+m)H(b+m)H(c+m)H(a+b+c+m)×∏x∈{a,b,c}H(2m+⌈2x⌉)H(2m+⌊2x⌋)H(2m)2∏x∈{a,b,c}H(⌈2x⌉)H(⌊2x⌋)×H(2m+⌈2a+b+c⌉)H(2m+⌊2a+b+c⌋)H(⌊2a+b⌋−1)H(⌈2a+c⌉+1)H(2b+c)H(⌈2a+b⌉+2m)H(⌊2a+b⌋+2m)H(⌊2a+c⌋+2m)H(⌈2a+c⌉+2m)H(2b+c+2m)2×H(⌊2a+c⌋+m−1)H(2b+c+m)H(⌈2a+b⌉+m+1)H(m+⌈2a+b+c⌉)H(m+⌊2a+b+c⌋)P2(a,b,c,m).
The statement is introduced as something that “seems to be true”; no resolution is supplied in the source.
