Tracy–Widom crossover conjecture for rectangular Young tableaux

Let (an)(a_n) be a nondecreasing sequence with ana_n\to\infty as nn\to\infty, and let Xi,j(n)X^{(n)}_{i,j} denote the relevant entry of the random rectangular Young tableau. Write TWTW for the Tracy–Widom distribution. Tracy–Widom crossover conjecture. Up to multiplicative constants, both limits hold:

an1/6(X\flooran,n(n)EX\flooran,n(n))n3/2lawTW\frac{a_n^{1/6}\bigl(X^{(n)}_{\floor{a_n},n}-{\mathbb E}X^{(n)}_{\floor{a_n},n}\bigr)}{n^{3/2}}\stackrel{\mathrm{law}}{\longrightarrow}TW X\flooran,1(n)EX\flooran,1(n)an4/3lawTW.\frac{X^{(n)}_{\floor{a_n},1}-{\mathbb E}X^{(n)}_{\floor{a_n},1}}{a_n^{4/3}}\stackrel{\mathrm{law}}{\longrightarrow}TW.

The conjecture is intended to describe the transition between the deterministic regime at the corner and the fluctuation regimes along the boundary and at the opposite edge. The source gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
