Uniform tiling of the Aztec diamond and the arctic circle theorem, see [3]
Tiling with i.i.d. standard lognormal weights, conjectured to display a super-rough region, see [5]
Model with layered randomness, i.e. weights periodic in one direction, but otherwise log-normal distributed, see [1], [4].
Model with 2-periodic layered randomness, i.e. weights are 2-periodic in one direction and log-normal distributed otherwise.
Graph of the generalized discriminant (see [6]) associated to the 2x2-periodic model studied in [2]. Its zero-set is also known as the octic circle, as it is a degree 8 curve.
