The first main conjecture on fluctuations of Schensted row insertion
The first main conjecture on fluctuations of Schensted row insertion
Fix . Let be the corresponding point on the Logan--Shepp--Vershik--Kerov limit curve . For i.i.d. random variables , let be the position of the box created by inserting . The first main conjecture. The random points
converge in distribution to a centered degenerate Gaussian distribution supported on the line . This distribution is determined by
where
This refines the known law of large numbers for the insertion position and predicts fourth-root Gaussian fluctuations tangent to the limit curve; the claim is presented as an unproved main conjecture.
