Moments of random integer partitions
Yu. V. Yakubovich Saint Petersburg State University
Abstract:
We study the limiting behaviour of the pth moment, that is the sum of pth powers of parts in a partition of a positive integer n which is taken uniformly among all partitions of n, as n→∞ and p∈R is fixed. We prove that after an appropriate centring and scaling, for p⩾1/2 (p≠1) the limit distribution is Gaussian, while for p<1/2 the limit is some infinitely divisible distribution, depending on p, which we describe explicitly. In particular, for p=0 this is the Gumbel distribution, which is well known, and for p=−1 the limiting distribution is connected to the Jacobi theta function.
Key words and phrases:
random integer partition, uniform measure on integer partitions, moments of integer partition, limit theorem, Jacobi theta distribution.
