We consider rows and columns with linear growth in $n$, the number of boxes of random diagrams, and prove the central limit theorem for them in the case of distinct Thoma parameters. We also establish a more precise statement relating the growth of rows and columns of Young diagrams to a simple independent random sampling model. After this paper was completed, the author learned that the central limit theorem has been also proved in the work of M\\'eliot (arXiv:1105.0091v1) by a different method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-07-14T20:14:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "central limit theorem", "infinite symmetric group", "extremal characters", "simple independent random sampling model", "young diagrams" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1105.1519B" } } }
