✦ Synopsis

We present a combinatorial solution to the problem of determining the number of lozenge tilings of a hexagon with sides a, b+1, b, a+1, b, b+1, with the central unit triangle removed. For a=b, this settles an open problem posed by Propp [7].

Motivated by the enumeration of a class of plane partitions studied by Proctor and by considerations about symmetry classes of plane partitions, we consider the problem of enumerating lozenge tilings of a hexagon with ''maximal staircases'' removed from some of its vertices.

Propp conjectured that the number of lozenge tilings of a semiregular hexagon of sides 2n&1, 2n&1, and 2n which contain the central unit rhombus is precisely one third of the total number of lozenge tilings. Motivated by this, we consider the more general situation of a semiregular hexagon of sides

We compute the number of all rhombus tilings of a hexagon with sides a, b q 1, c, a q 1, b, c q 1, of which the central triangle is removed, provided a, b, c , where B ␣ , ␤, ␥ is the number of plane partitions inside the ␣ = ␤ = ␥ box.

We compute the number of rhombus tilings of a hexagon with sides a, b, c, a, b, c with three fixed tiles touching the border. The particular case a=b=c solves a problem posed by Propp. Our result can also be viewed as the enumeration of plane partitions having a rows and b columns, with largest entr
