Johnson's bijections and their application to counting simultaneous core partitions

Combinatorics 2017-11-07 v1

Abstract

Johnson recently proved Armstrong's conjecture which states that the average size of an (a,b)(a,b)-core partition is (a+b+1)(a1)(b1)/24(a+b+1)(a-1)(b-1)/24. He used various coordinate changes and one-to-one correspondences that are useful for counting problems about simultaneous core partitions. We give an expression for the number of (b1,b2,,bn)(b_1,b_2,\cdots, b_n)-core partitions where {b1,b2,,bn}\{b_1,b_2,\cdots,b_n\} contains at least one pair of relatively prime numbers. We also evaluate the largest size of a self-conjugate (s,s+1,s+2)(s,s+1,s+2)-core partition.
