Abstract
We establish a hook length bias between self-conjugate partitions and partitions of distinct odd parts, demonstrating that there are more hooks of fixed length among self-conjugate partitions of than among partitions of distinct odd parts of for sufficiently large . More precisely, we derive asymptotic formulas for the total number of hooks of fixed length in both classes. This resolves a conjecture of Ballantine, Burson, Craig, Folsom, and Wen.
