If we take a uniformly random lattice polygon in the square $[0,n]^2$, Bárány, Vershik and Sinai proved that the renormalized polygon converges towards a limit shape. We study the fluctuations of a random lattice polygon around that limit shape. After establishing a central limit theorem of finite-dimensional marginals of the boundary point of a lattice zonotope in any dimension, we proved a Donsker-type theorem for the boundary fluctuations, which involves a 2-dimensional Brownian bridge and a drift term that we identify as a random cubic curve.
