Asymptotic normality for fixed dd

From papers

Let Xd,nX_{d,n} be the size of a uniformly random (n,dn1)(n,dn-1)-core partition with distinct parts, with mean μd,n\mu_{d,n} and standard deviation σd,n\sigma_{d,n}. Fix dd and let nn tend to infinity.

Fixed-dd normality conjecture. For fixed dd, the distribution of Xd,nX_{d,n} is asymptotically normal. That is,

Xd,nμd,nσd,n\frac{X_{d,n}-\mu_{d,n}}{\sigma_{d,n}}

approaches the standard normal distribution as nn\to\infty.

The conjecture is motivated by the observed limiting standardized moments 0,1,0,3,0,15,0,1,0,3,0,15,\dots. It is presented as an experimentally supported conjecture, with no proof or resolution stated.
