Asymptotic part-allocation conjecture for the B-qq-Plancherel measure

About 16 years old · traced to

Let (λ(1),λ(2))(\lambda^{(1)},\lambda^{(2)}) be a random bipartition under the B-qq-Plancherel measure, and let λ=λ(1)⊔λ(2)\lambda=\lambda^{(1)}\sqcup\lambda^{(2)}. Asymptotic part-allocation conjecture. The probability that the (2k+1)(2k+1)-st part of λ\lambda belongs to λ(1)\lambda^{(1)} tends to

ck=12(1+(q;q2)∞(q2;q2)∞ (q;q2)k(q2;q2)k qk).c_k=\frac{1}{2}\left(1+\frac{(q;q^{2})_{\infty}}{(q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}}\,\frac{(q;q^{2})_{k}}{(q^{2};q^{2})_{k}}\,q^{k}\right).

The probability that the (2k+2)(2k+2)-nd part belongs to λ(1)\lambda^{(1)} tends to 1/21/2. In particular, the probability that the largest part belongs to λ(1)\lambda^{(1)} tends to

c0=12(1+∏i=0∞1−q2i+11−q2i+2).c_0=\frac{1}{2}\left(1+\prod_{i=0}^{\infty}\frac{1-q^{2i+1}}{1-q^{2i+2}}\right).

The statement is presented conditionally on an identity for expected central characters that had been verified only through k=6k=6; its general validity and the resulting asymptotics remain open.
