Abstract
Motivated by the many roles that hook lengths play in mathematics, we study the distribution of the number of -hooks in the partitions of . We prove that the limiting distribution is normal with mean and variance Furthermore, we prove that the distribution of the number of hook lengths that are multiples of a fixed in partitions of converge to a shifted Gamma distribution with parameter and scale
