Hall--Littlewood central limit conjecture for row and column lengths

From papers

Let λ(n)\lambda(n) be a random Young diagram with row lengths λi(n)\lambda_i(n) and column lengths λi(n)\lambda_i'(n). Assume that the positive α\alpha-parameters and positive β\beta-parameters are distinct, so that α1>α2>\alpha_1>\alpha_2>\cdots and β1>β2>\beta_1>\beta_2>\cdots. Let the limiting means be those given by the law of large numbers, and normalize the row and column lengths by n\sqrt n.

Central limit conjecture. The infinite vector

{λ1(n),λ2(n),;λ1(n),λ2(n),}\{\lambda_1(n),\lambda_2(n),\ldots;\lambda_1'(n),\lambda_2'(n),\ldots\}

is asymptotically jointly Gaussian after subtracting its limiting means and normalizing by n\sqrt n. The limiting covariances are αi1i=jαiαj\alpha_i\mathbf 1_{i=j}-\alpha_i\alpha_j between λi\lambda_i and λj\lambda_j, βi1q11i=jβiβj(1q1)2\frac{\beta_i}{1-\mathfrak q^{-1}}\mathbf 1_{i=j}-\frac{\beta_i\beta_j}{(1-\mathfrak q^{-1})^2} between λi\lambda_i' and λj\lambda_j', and αiβj1q1-\frac{\alpha_i\beta_j}{1-\mathfrak q^{-1}} between λi\lambda_i and λj\lambda_j'.

The conjecture predicts Gaussian fluctuations around the law-of-large-numbers frequencies. The source notes that the analogous result is known for the uniform measure on U\mathbb U and for related measures when the Hall--Littlewood parameter is zero, while the stated general case is not proved there.
