I am working through the derivation for a method published in this paper. On page 586 (equation A1) the authors use the notation:

$$ N(bullet,bullet) $$

What do the bullets represent? Do they imply any mean and variance will satisfy the following steps, a specific mean and variance previously written should be assumed, or something else entirely?

The notation serves to shorten the notation for the distribution of $beta_i$ as the equation is complicated enough. The distribution of $beta_i$ is given previously on top of page 585. You can verify this by plugging in an Expectation of $0$ and a standard deviation of $frach^2Mp$.
