Abstract

In this paper, we study the uniform measure for the self-conjugate partitions. We derive the qq-difference equation which is satisfied by the nn-point correlation function related to the uniform measure. As applications, we give explicit formulas for the one-point and two-point functions, and study their quasimodularity. Motivated by this, we also prove the quasimodularity of the general nn-point function using a combinatorial method. Finally, we derive the limit shape of self-conjugate partitions under the Gibbs uniform measure and compare it to the leading asymptotics of the one-point function.
