Hydrodynamic limit for an evolutional model of two-dimensional Young diagrams (Q5962391)

The authors construct dynamics of 2D Young diagrams, which are associated with their groundcanonical ensembles, by allowing the creation and annihilation of unit squares located at the boundary of the diagrams. It is shown that, as the averaged size of the diagrams diverges, the corresponding height variable converges to a solution of a certain non-linear partial differential equations under a proper hydrodynamic scaling. The stationary solution of the limit equation is identified with the so-called Vershik curve. Also both uniform and restricted uniform statistics for the Young diagrams are discussed.
