Partial sum of matrix entries of representations of the symmetric group and its asymptotics

Abstract: Many aspects of the asymptotics of Plancherel distributed partitions have been studied in the past fifty years, in particular the limit shape, the distribution of the longest rows, connections with random matrix theory and characters of the representation matrices of the symmetric group. Regarding the latter, we expand a celebrated result of Kerov on the asymptotic of Plancherel distributed characters by studying partial trace and partial sum of a representation matrix. We decompose these objects into a main term and a reminder, proving a central limit theorem for both main terms and a law of large numbers for the partial sum itself. Our main tool is the expansion of symmetric functions evaluated on Jucys-Murphy elements.
