Question: how does one enumerate all star-convex $2n$-vertex sublattices of the plane that have the unique domino-tiling property?
Definitions:
A subset $S$ of the $xy$-plane is star-convex if there is a point $s$ in $S$ such that the line segment [st] is contained in $S$ for every $t$ in $S$. For example the Young diagram of a partition is star convex with s taken as the origin.
A sublattice $G$ of the plane is a bipartite graph whose vertices are some points in the plane with integer coordinates. Two vertices in $G$ whose $x$-coordinates differ by $1$ or whose $y$-coordinates differ by $1$ are joined by an edge.
A tiling of a graph by dominos (dimer covering or perfect matching) is a collection of edges such that every vertex belongs to exactly one edge in the tiling.
Motivating example:
For $n\geq1$ there is a bijection between the Young diagrams of $2n$ which have a unique tiling by dominos and two copies of the set of partitions of $n$.
We see this as follows:
Represent the partition of $2n$ using beads on a $2$-runner abacus (as explained in James & Kerber's book The Representation Theory of the Symmetric Group). Moving a bead on a runner into a space immediately above it on the abacus correspond to the removal of a domino ($2$ adjacent boxes) from the diagram.
The Young diagram has a tiling by dominos if and only if there are an equal number of beads on each runner (the partition has an empty $2$-core). The tiling is unique if one runner is the bead sequence of a partition of $n$ and the other runner represents the empty partition.
Specific examples:
For $2n=2,4,6$ only the hook partitions $[k,1^{2n-k}]$ have a unique tiling by dominos. In addition to the $8$ hook partitions of $2n=8$, the partitions $[4,3,1]$ and $[3,2^2,1]$ have unique tilings. These correspond to the partition $[2^2]$ of $n=4$.
