Abstract
We consider simultaneous -core partitions in the large- limit, or (when ), partitions in which no hook may be of length . We study generating functions, containment properties, and congruences when is not coprime to . As a boundary case of the general study made by Cho, Huh and Sohn, we provide enumerations when is coprime to , and answer positively a conjecture of Fayers on the polynomial behavior of the size of the set of simultaneous -core partitions when grows arbitrarily large. Of particular interest throughout is the comparison to the behavior of simultaneous -cores.
