The Plancherel transition-measure convergence-rate conjecture

Let λ(n)\lambda^{(n)} be a random Young diagram with nn boxes distributed according to the Plancherel measure. Let Kλ(n)K_{\lambda^{(n)}} be its transition-measure distribution function and let FSCF_{\operatorname{SC}} be the semicircle distribution function. Plancherel transition-measure convergence-rate conjecture. For every 2<u<2-2<u<2 and every α<12\alpha<\frac12,

nα[Kλ(n)(nu)FSC(u)]nP0.n^\alpha\left[K_{\lambda^{(n)}}(\sqrt n\,u)-F_{\operatorname{SC}}(u)\right]\xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{P}0.

This stronger conjecture is motivated by simulations and analogous random-matrix results, and is intended to supply the local fluctuation estimate needed for the proposed approach to the jeu de taquin functional central limit theorem.
