Boundedness of cumulant correction terms for the three-letter pair count

From papers

Let TrT_r denote the correction to the rrth cumulant of X3(n)X^{(n)}_3 arising from dependence among the pair indicators. Cumulant-correction conjecture.

T.=O(1).|T_.|=\mathcal{O}(1).

The surrounding argument explains that bounded corrections, in particular for the third and fourth cumulants, would suffice for the proposed Gaussian limiting distribution of X3(n)X^{(n)}_3. The notation T.T_. is schematic in the source, so the precise range of cumulant orders intended should be checked against the full paper.
