Correlation Function of Self-Conjugate Partitions: q-Difference Equation and Quasimodularity

In this paper, we study the uniform measure for the self-conjugate partitions. We derive the $q$-difference equation which is satisfied by the $n$-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 $n$-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.
