An analogous result is proved for Jack measure on partitions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-08-08T22:01:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "berry-esseen theorem", "character ratios", "inductive proof", "identically distributed random variables", "jack measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......3227F" } } }
