Abstract
Hexagons with four-lobed regions called shamrocks removed from their center were introduced in their 2013 paper by Ciucu and Krattenthaler, where product formulas for the number of their lozenge tilings were provided. In analogy with the plane partitions which they generalize, we consider the problem of enumerating the lozenge tilings which are invariant under some symmetries of the underlying region. This leads to six symmetry classes besides the base case of requiring no symmetry. In this paper we provide product formulas for two of these symmetry classes (namely, the ones generalizing cyclically symmetric, and cyclically symmetric and transpose complementary plane partitions).
