Abstract: Let varPin be the set of convex polygonal lines varGamma with vertices on mathbbZ+2 and fixed endpoints 0=(0,0) and n=(n1,n2). We are concerned with the limit shape, as noinfty, of "typical" varGammainvarPin with respect to a parametric family of probability measures Pnr,0<r<infty on varPin, including the uniform distribution (r=1) for which the limit shape was found in the early 1990s independently by A. M. Vershik, I. B'ar'any and Ya. G. Sinai. We show that, in fact, the limit shape is universal in the class Pnr, even though Pnr (re1) and Pn1 are asymptotically singular. Measures Pnr are constructed, following Sinai's approach, as conditional distributions Qzr(cdot|varPin), where Qzr are suitable product measures on the space , depending on an auxiliary "free" parameter z=(z1,z2). The transition from (varPi,Qzr) to (varPin,Pnr) is based on the asymptotics of the probability Qzr(varPin), furnished by a certain two-dimensional local limit theorem. The proofs involve subtle analytical tools including the M"obius inversion formula and properties of zeroes of the Riemann zeta function.
