Alternative q-analogue probability measures for partitions in a rectangle

About 5 years old · traced to

Let nn and kk be positive integers, let λ\lambda range over all partitions contained in an n×kn\times k rectangle, and write λ‾\overline{\lambda} for the complementary partition and λ‾′\overline{\lambda}' for its conjugate. Let dim⁡q(VGLn(λ))\dim_q(V_{GL_n}(\lambda)) and dim⁡q(VGLk(λ‾′))\dim_q(V_{GL_k}(\overline{\lambda}')) denote the corresponding quantum dimensions. Alternative q-measure conjecture. The following expressions define probability measures on all such partitions:

μn,kA2(λ;q)=q∥λ‾∥dim⁡q(VGLn(λ)) q∥λ‾′∥dim⁡q(VGLk(λ‾′))2∏i=1k+1(qi+1)k+2−i×∏j=k+1n∏i=1k(qj+2−i+1),\mu_{n,k}^{A2}(\lambda;q)=\frac{q^{\lVert\overline{\lambda}\rVert}\dim_q\bigl(V_{GL_n}(\lambda)\bigr)\,q^{\lVert\overline{\lambda}'\rVert}\dim_q\bigl(V_{GL_k}(\overline{\lambda}')\bigr)}{2\prod_{i=1}^{k+1}(q^i+1)^{k+2-i}\times\prod_{j=k+1}^n\prod_{i=1}^k(q^{j+2-i}+1)}, μn,kA3(λ;q)=q∥λ‾∥dim⁡q(VGLn(λ)) q∣λ‾′∣+∥λ‾′∥dim⁡q(VGLk(λ‾′))∏i=12k(qi+1)k−∣k−i∣×∏j=k+1n∏i=1k(qj+k−i+1).\mu_{n,k}^{A3}(\lambda;q)=\frac{q^{\lVert\overline{\lambda}\rVert}\dim_q\bigl(V_{GL_n}(\lambda)\bigr)\,q^{|\overline{\lambda}'|+\lVert\overline{\lambda}'\rVert}\dim_q\bigl(V_{GL_k}(\overline{\lambda}')\bigr)}{\prod_{i=1}^{2k}(q^i+1)^{k-|k-i|}\times\prod_{j=k+1}^n\prod_{i=1}^k(q^{j+k-i}+1)}.

These provide alternative qq-analogues of the original measure, motivated by experimental data. The source presents them as conjectural and gives no resolution, so their normalization and probabilistic interpretation remain to be established.
