    "title": "The metric space of limit laws for $q$-hook formulas",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Billey-Konvalinka-Swanson studied the asymptotic distribution of the coefficients of Stanley's $q$-hook length formula, or equivalently the major index on standard tableaux of straight shape and certain skew shapes. We extend those investigations to Stanley's $q$-hook-content formula related to semistandard tableaux and $q$-hook length formulas of Björner-Wachs related to linear extensions of labeled forests. We show that, while their coefficients are \"generically\" asymptotically normal, there are uncountably many non-normal limit laws. More precisely, we introduce and completely describe the compact closure of the metric space of distributions of these statistics in several regimes. The additional limit distributions involve generalized uniform sum distributions which are topologically parameterized by certain decreasing sequence spaces with bounded $2$-norm. The closure of these distributions in the Lévy metric gives rise to the space of DUSTPAN distributions. As an application, we completely classify the limiting distributions of the size statistic on plane partitions fitting in a box.\n \nMathematics Subject Classifications: 05A16 (Primary), 60C05, 60F05 (Secondary)\n \nKeywords: Hook length, $q$-analogues, major index, semistandard tableaux, plane partitions, forests, asymptotic normality, limit laws, Irwin-Hall distribution",
