The cumulant conjecture for spectral moments of matrix gamma distributions

From papers

Let MAΓd(η,Σ)M\sim A\Gamma_d(\eta,\Sigma) be a random positive definite matrix, and let the mean spectral distribution of MM have moments indexed by pp. Suppose that the asymptotic moment relation in the preceding lemma holds as dd\to\infty and d/ηλ>0d/\eta\to\lambda>0, with the right-hand side of the lemma's special case given by

limd1dX>0[tr(Xd)p]gη,Id(X)dX={λ,p=1,0,p2.\lim_{d\to\infty}\frac{1}{d}\int_{X>0}\left[\operatorname{tr}\left(\frac{X}{d}\right)^p\right]g_{\eta,\mathrm{I}_d}(X)\,\mathrm{d}X=\begin{cases}\lambda,&p=1,\\0,&p\geq2. \end{cases}

Cumulant conjecture. The right-hand side of this relation must be related to the ppth cumulant of the ppth moment of the mean spectral distribution of MM, and this relation should allow identification of the limiting spectral distribution. The conjecture is presented as a proposed next step rather than a proved identification of the limiting law; the source does not provide the precise relation or determine that distribution.
