Abstract: We study the boundary of the liquid region $mathcalL$ in large random lozenge tiling models defined by uniform random interlacing particle systems with general initial configuration, which lies on the line $(x,1)$, $xinmathbbRequivpartialmathbbH$. We assume that the initial particle configuration converges weakly to a limiting density $phi(x)$, $0lephileq1$. The liquid region is given by a homeomorphism $W_{mathcalL}:mathcalLomathbbH$, the upper half plane, and we consider the extension of $W_{mathcalL}^{-1}$ to $overlinemathbbH$. Part of $partialmathcalL$ is given by a curve, the edge $mathcalE$, parametrized by intervals in $partialmathbbH$, and this corresponds to points where $phi$ is identical to $0$ or $1$. If $0<phi<1$, the non-trivial support, there are two cases. Either $W_{mathcalL}^{-1}(w)$ has the limit $(x,1)$ as $wox$ non-tangentially and we have a emph{regular point}, or we have what we call a singular point. In this case $W_{mathcalL}^{-1}$ does not extend continuously to $overlinemathbbH$. Singular points give rise to parts of $partialmathcalL$ not given by $mathcalE$ and which can border a frozen region, or be "inside" the liquid region. This shows that in general the boundary of $partialmathcalL$ can be very complicated. We expect that on the singular parts of $partialmathcalL$ we do not get a universal point process like the Airy or the extended Sine kernel point processes. Furthermore, $mathcalE$ and the singular parts of $partialmathcalL$ are shocks of the complex Burgers equation.
