Burgers-equation conjecture for character-measure limit shapes

From papers

Let μn,k(λ{xi}i=1n,{yj}j=1k)\mu_{n,k}(\lambda\mid\{x_i\}_{i=1}^n,\{y_j\}_{j=1}^k) be the character measure on partitions λkn\lambda\subseteq k^n defined using Schur functions, and take xi=eφ(i/n)x_i=e^{\varphi(i/n)} and yj=eψ(j/n)y_j=e^{\psi(j/n)} for smooth functions φ\varphi and ψ\psi. Character-measure limit-shape conjecture. As n,kn,k\to\infty, the limit shape of this character measure is described by the Burgers equation. The proposed description connects asymptotic character measures for skew Howe dual pairs with the Burgers-equation asymptotics of the Harish-Chandra--Itzykson--Zuber integral, but the source does not state a resolution.
