Plane partitions. IV: A conjecture of Mills-Robbins-Rumsey (Q1095144)

The author proves a conjecture of \textit{W. Mills, D. Robbins} and \textit{H. Rumsey} [Enumeration of a symmetry class of plane partitions (preprint)] related to plane partitions. The conjecture has also appeared as Conjecture 6 in Combinatoire enumerative, Proc. Colloq. Montreal/Can. 1985, Lect. Notes Math. 1234, 285-293 (1976; Zbl 0612.05008). The proof follows the same lines as the author's proof of the Weak Macdonald Conjecture [Invent. Math. 53, 193-225 (1979; Zbl 0421.10011)].
