J´er´emieBouttier (CEA/ENS de Lyon) Around the Plancherel measure on partitions 20 March 2019 2 / 28 This course was roughly based on Chapters 1 and 2 of Dan Romik’s beautiful book The surprising mathematics of longest increasing subsequences (available online).

In the second part (Chapter 2) I somewhat diverged from the book by following my own favorite approach (developed mostly by Okounkov), based on fermions and saddle point computations for asymptotics.

This is the material I would like to present here: fermions because of physics, saddle point computations because, well, we are in Al´ea!

What these lectures are about In these lectures I present a very condensed version of some material which form the second part of a M2 course I gave in Lyon.

d2 Prob(λ) = λ θ|λ|e−θ. (|λ|!)2

It is a mixture of the Plancherel measures of fixed size, where the size is a Poisson random variable of parameter θ. We denote by λhθi a random partition distributed according to the poissonized Plancherel measure, λ(n) denoting a Plancherel random partition of size n.
