Random Rodrigues descendants converge to deterministic measures

Let \x03be\x03be be a probability measure compactly supported in \x1d53d\x1d53d, let Pn=\x220fi=1n(x−\x03bei)P_n=\x220f_{i=1}^n(x-\x03be_i) have roots independently sampled according to \x03be\x03be, and let \x03bcn\x03bc_n be the root-counting measure of Qn=Pn(\x03b1n)Q_n=P_n^{(\x03b1_n)}, where \x03b1n\x03b1_n is a sequence of non-negative integers. Random-descendant convergence conjecture. (i) If αnn→0\frac{\alpha_n}{n}\to0, then \x007b\x03bcn\x007d\x007b\x03bc_n\x007d converges in probability to \x03be\x03be. (ii) If αnn→\x03b1\frac{\alpha_n}{n}\to\x03b1 with 0<\x03b1<10<\x03b1<1, then \x007b\x03bcn\x007d\x007b\x03bc_n\x007d converges in probability to a measure \x03be\x03b1\x03be_\x03b1 whose support is contained in the convex hull of the support of \x03be\x03be. This proposes a measure-theoretic extension of the paper's asymptotic formula from polynomial-root measures to arbitrary compactly supported probability measures; the source presents it as a guess, and no proof or resolution is supplied.
