Asymptotic normality for fixed dd

About 9 years old · traced to

Let Xd,nX_{d,n} be the size of a uniformly random (n,dn−1)(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,n−μd,nσd,n\frac{X_{d,n}-\mu_{d,n}}{\sigma_{d,n}}

approaches the standard normal distribution as n→∞n\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.
