Limit shapes for random Young tableaux via determinantal point processes

Jacopo Borga

Given a Young diagram ?, we consider a uniform random Young tableau T of shape ?, i.e. a uniform filling of the cells of ? conditioned to have increasing rows and columns. Letting ? go to infinity with some fixed "limiting shape", it is known that the random tableau T converges to some limiting surface. This problem has been investigated through various angles: combinatorics, representation theory, statistical physics, ...
In this talk, we will use a recent determinantal representation of (Poissonized) random tableau, due to Gorin and Rahman, to find a new description of the limit surface for tableaux of multirectangular shape. In particular, we discover that this limiting surface might be discontinuous and characterize exactly when such discontinuities occur.
