The t-core of an s-core

Combinatorics 2012-02-20 v2

Abstract

We consider the tt-core of an ss-core partition, when ss and tt are coprime positive integers. Olsson has shown that the tt-core of an ss-core is again an ss-core, and we examine certain actions of the affine symmetric group on ss-cores which preserve the tt-core of an ss-core. Along the way, we give a new proof of Olsson's result. We also give a new proof of a result of Vandehey, showing that there is a simultaneous ss- and tt-core which contains all others.
