Central limit theorems for some set partition statistics. (English) Zbl 1327.60030
Summary: We prove the conjectured limiting normality for the number of crossings of a uniformly chosen set partition of $$[n] = \{1, 2, \dots, n \}$$. The arguments use a novel stochastic representation and are also used to prove central limit theorems for the dimension index and the number of levels.
