Universality conjecture for Gaussian fluctuations of random partitions

About 15 years old · traced to

The parameters ωn\omega_n define models of random partitions, and ωn\omega_n converges to 00 at speed 1/n1/\sqrt{n} as nn tends to infinity. The fluctuations of the partitions are described by a Gaussian free field, up to a translation of the fluctuations on the xx-axis. Universality conjecture. This asymptotic behaviour is universal among models of random partitions associated to parameters (ωn)n∈N(\omega_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} converging to 0\mathbf{0} at speed 1/n1/\sqrt{n} as nn goes to infinity. The conjecture proposes that the Gaussian-free-field fluctuation behaviour observed for Schur–Weyl measures extends universally to these random-partition models, independently of the specific model and, apart from translation, of the parameter.
