Burgers-equation conjecture for character-measure limit shapes

About 5 years old · traced to

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 λ⊆kn\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,k→∞n,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.
