Pointwise convergence conjecture for hook-length mass functions

From papers

For t4t \geq 4, let ft;n(x)f_{t;n}(x) be the scaled mass function associated with the distribution of Y^t(n)\hat{Y}_t(n), and let gt(x)g_t(x) be the corresponding limiting function. Pointwise convergence conjecture. For all x>0x>0,

ft;n(x)gt(x)as n.f_{t;n}(x)\to g_t(x)\qquad\text{as }n\to\infty.

The conjecture asks whether the scaled probability mass functions converge pointwise in the regime t4t\geq 4. Convergence of the cumulative distribution functions to a shifted Gamma distribution is known, while the corresponding pointwise convergence of the mass functions had not been studied; numerical evidence supports the claim.
