On the random Young diagrams and their cores (Q1291121): Difference between revisions

The authors consider Young diagrams or Ferrers graphs that are chosen uniformly at random from among all partitions of \(n\). They determine the expected shape and size of the \(r\)-core. In particular, when scaled by \(n^{1/2}\), the core size is asymptotically gamma-distributed with parameter \((r-1)/2\). For \(n\) chosen uniformly at random from 1 to \(N\) and the core diagram scaled both horizontally and vertically by \(N^{1/4}\), the boundary converges to a random convex polygonal curve with \(r-1\) straight line segments.
