An aspect of the large \(n\) behaviour of the partitions of \(n\) (presentation)
Abstract: A probability distribution, which is related to hook length, is defined for the set of partitions of a given number \(n\). We then ask questions about the expected shape of a partition for large \(n\). It turns out that the distribution concentrates on a partition whose Young diagram has a boundary of a particular simple shape.
