Plancherel dimension-ratio decay conjecture for subpartitions

About 10 years old · traced to

Let λ⊢n\lambda\vdash n. Write μ⊆λ\mu\subseteq\lambda when μ\mu is a partition obtained from λ\lambda by removing boxes, and let PPLnP_{PL}^n denote Plancherel measure on partitions of nn. For a nonnegative integer ss, consider subpartitions of size ∣λ∣−s|\lambda|-s.

Plancherel dimension-ratio decay conjecture. There exists α>0\alpha>0 such that, for all ss,

PPLn({λ:max⁡μ:μ⊆λ∣μ∣=∣λ∣−sdim⁡μdim⁡λ>n−αs})→0.P_{PL}^n\left(\left\{\lambda:\max_{\substack{\mu\colon\mu\subseteq\lambda\\|\mu|=|\lambda|-s}}\frac{\dim\mu}{\dim\lambda}>n^{-\alpha s}\right\}\right)\to 0.

This conjecture asserts polynomial decay of the largest dimension ratio after removing ss boxes, with probability tending to one under Plancherel measure. The paper presents this as an open estimate needed to control contributions from smaller partitions.
