The set of hook lengths of an integer partition $\lambda$ is the complement of some numerical semigroup $S$. There has been recent interest in studying the number of partitions with a given set of hook lengths. Very little is known about…
Let $t\geq2$ and $k\geq1$ be integers. A $t$-regular partition of a positive integer $n$ is a partition of $n$ such that none of its parts is divisible by $t$. Let $b_{t,k}(n)$ denote the number of hooks of length $k$ in all the $t$-regular…
We confirm the speculation that the distribution of $t$-hooks among unrestricted integer partitions essentially descends to self-conjugate partitions. Namely, we prove that the number of hooks of length $t$ among the size $n$ self-conjugate…
In this paper we study the question of determining when an irreducible admissible representation of ${\rm GL}_n(D)$ admits a symplectic model, that is when such a representation has a linear functional invariant under ${\rm Sp}_n(D)$, where…
Let $b_{n,k}$ denote the number of hooks of length $k$ in all the $t$-regular partitions of $n$. Singh and Barman raised the question of finding the relation between $b_{t,2}(n)$ and $b_{t,1}(n)$. Kim showed that there exists $N$ such that…
The combinatorial properties of partitions with various restrictions on their hooksets are explored. A connection with numerical semigroups extends current results on simultaneous s/t-cores. Conditions that suffice for a partition to…
The classical hook length formula of enumerative combinatorics expresses the number of standard Young tableaux of a given partition shape as a single fraction. In recent years, two generalizations of this formula have emerged: one by Pak…
Motivated by the many roles that hook lengths play in mathematics, we study the distribution of the number of $t$-hooks in the partitions of $n$. We prove that the limiting distribution is normal with mean $\mu_t(n)\sim…
In this article, we study hook lengths of ordinary partitions and $t$-regular partitions. We establish hook length biases for the ordinary partitions and motivated by them we find a few interesting hook length biases in $2$-regular…
In the combinatorics of finite finite Coxeter groups, there is a simple formula giving the number of maximal chains of noncrossing partitions. It is a reinterpretation of a result by Deligne which is due to Chapoton, and the goal of this…
We introduce the difference operator for functions defined on strict partitions and prove a polynomiality property for a summation involving the hook length and content statistics. As an application, several new hook-content formulas for…
We prove a Macdonald polynomial analogue of the celebrated Nekrasov-Okounkov hook-length formula from the theory of random partitions. As an application we obtain a proof of one of the main conjectures of Hausel and Rodriguez-Villegas from…
We give a closed formula for the number of partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ such that the corresponding irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant. We determine how many of these partitions are self-conjugate and…
Motivated by the Nekrasov-Okounkov formula on hook lengths, the first author conjectured that the Plancherel average of the $2k$-th power sum of hook lengths of partitions with size $n$ is always a polynomial of $n$ for any $k\in…
In a recent paper (arXiv:2301.09744), Erickson and Hunziker consider partitions in which the arm-leg difference is an arbitrary constant $m$. In previous works, these partitions are called $(-m)$-asymmetric partitions. Regarding these…
Let G be a finite subgroup of SL(2,C). Let S_N#G^N be the wreath product of G by the symmetric group of degree N, acting symplectically on a complex vector space V of dimension 2N, with symplectic basis {x_i, y_i} i=1,...,N. In this paper…
Motivated by a recent paper of Straub, we study the distribution of integer partitions according to the length of their largest hook, instead of the usual statistic, namely the size of the partitions. We refine Straub's analogue of Euler's…
We look at the number $L(n)$ of $O$-sequences of length $n$. Recall that an $O$-sequence can be defined algebraically as the Hilbert function of a standard graded $k$-algebra, or combinatorially as the $f$-vector of a multicomplex. The…
We generalize overpartitions to (k,j)-colored partitions: k-colored partitions in which each part size may have at most j colors. We find numerous congruences and other symmetries. We use a wide array of tools to prove our theorems:…
We consider generalizations of symplectic manifolds called n-plectic manifolds. A manifold is n-plectic if it is equipped with a closed, nondegenerate form of degree n+1. We show that higher structures arise on these manifolds which can be…
