On the polynomiality and asymptotics of moments of sizes for random(n,dn ± 1)-core partitions with distinct parts

Amdeberhan’s conjectures on the enumeration,the average size,and the largest size of(n,n+1)-core partitions with distinct parts have motivated many research on this topic.Recently,Straub(2016)and Nath and Sellers(2017)obtained formulas for the numbers of(n,dn-1)-and(n,dn+1)-core partitions with distinct parts,respectively.Let X_s,t be the size of a uniform random(s,t)-core partition with distinct parts when s and t are coprime to each other.Some explicit formulas for the k-th moments EX_n,n+1^k]and EX_(2 n+1,2 n+3)^k]were given by Zaleski and Zeilberger(2017)when k is small.Zaleski(2017)also studied the expectation and higher moments of X_n,dn-1 and conjectured some polynomiality properties concerning them in ar Xiv:1702.05634.Motivated by the above works,we derive several polynomiality results and asymptotic formulas for the k-th moments of X_n,dn+1 and X_n,dn-1 in this paper,by studying theβ-sets of core partitions.In particular,we show that these k-th moments are asymptotically some polynomials of n with degrees at most 2 k,when d is given and n tends to infinity.Moreover,when d=1,we derive that the k-th moment EX_n,n+1^k]of X_n,n+1 is asymptotically equal to(n²/10)^kwhen n tends to infinity.The explicit formulas for the expectations EX_n,dn+1]and EX_n,dn-1]are also given.The(n,dn-1)-core case in our results proves several conjectures of Zaleski(2017)on the polynomiality of the expectation and higher moments of X_n,dn-1.
