The study of core partitions has been very active in recent years, with the study of $(s,t)$-cores - partitions which are both $s$- and $t$-cores - playing a prominent role. A conjecture of Armstrong, proved recently by Johnson, says that…

Simultaneous core partitions have been widely studied in the past 20 years. In 2013, Amdeberhan gave several conjectures on the number, the average size, and the largest size of $(t,t+1)$-core partitions with distinct parts, which was…

Fix coprime $s,t\ge1$. We re-prove, without Ehrhart reciprocity, a conjecture of Armstrong (recently verified by Johnson) that the finitely many simultaneous $(s,t)$-cores have average size $\frac{1}{24}(s-1)(t-1)(s+t+1)$, and that the…

A beautiful recent conjecture of D. Armstrong predicts the average size of a partition that is simultaneously an $s$-core and a $t$-core, where $s$ and $t$ are coprime. Our goal is to prove this conjecture when $t=s+1$. These simultaneous…

Johnson recently proved Armstrong's conjecture which states that the average size of an $(a,b)$-core partition is $(a+b+1)(a-1)(b-1)/24$. He used various coordinate changes and one-to-one correspondences that are useful for counting…

A conjecture of Armstrong states that if $\gcd (a, b) = 1$, then the average size of an $(a, b)$-core partition is $(a - 1)(b - 1)(a + b + 1) / 24$. Recently, Stanley and Zanello used a recursive argument to verify this conjecture when $a =…

Motivated by Amdeberhan's conjecture on $(t,t+1)$-core partitions with distinct parts, various results on the numbers, the largest sizes and the average sizes of simultaneous core partitions with distinct parts were obtained by many…

We consider simultaneous $(s,s+t,s+2t,\dots,s+pt)$-core partitions in the large-$p$ limit, or (when $s<t$), partitions in which no hook may be of length $s \pmod{t}$. We study generating functions, containment properties, and congruences…

Simultaneous core partitions are important objects in algebraic combinatorics. Recently there has been interest in studying the distribution of sizes among all $(s,t)$-cores for coprime $s$ and $t$. Zaleski (2017) gave strong evidence that…

A tremendous amount of research has been done in the last two decades on $(s,t)$-core partitions when $s$ and $t$ are positive integers with no common divisor. Here we change perspective slightly and explore properties of $(s,t)$-core and…

In this paper we prove that Amdeberhan's conjecture on the largest size of $(t, t+1, t+2)$-core partitions is true. We also show that the number of $(t, t + 1, t + 2)$-core partitions with the largest size is $1$ or $2$ based on the parity…

In 2016, Nath and Sellers proposed a conjecture regarding the precise largest size of ${(s,ms-1,ms+1)}$-core partitions. In this paper, we prove their conjecture. One of the key techniques in our proof is to introduce and study the…

Jaclyn Anderson proved that if s and t are relatively prime positive integers, then there are exactly (s+t-1)!/(s!t!) partitions whose set of hook-lengths is disjoint from the set {s,t}. Drew Armstrong conjectured (and Paul Johnson, and a…

Simultaneous core partitions have attracted much attention since Anderson's work on the number of $(t_1,t_2)$-core partitions. In this paper we focus on simultaneous core partitions with distinct parts. The generating function of $t$-core…

Anderson established a connection between core partitions and order ideals of certain posets by mapping a partition to its $\beta$-set. In this paper, we give a characterization of the poset $P_{(s,s+1,s+2)}$ whose order ideals correspond…

A partition is called an $(s_1,s_2,\dots,s_p)$-core partition if it is simultaneously an $s_i$-core for all $i=1,2,\dots,p$. Simultaneous core partitions have been actively studied in various directions. In particular, researchers concerned…

Partition theory abounds with bijections between different types of partitions. One of the most famous partition bijections maps each self-conjugate partition of a positive integer $n$ to a partition of $n$ into distinct odd parts, and vice…

A conjecture on the monotonicity of t-core partitions in an article of Stanton [Open positivity conjectures for integer partitions, Trends Math., 2:19-25, 1999] has been the catalyst for much recent research on t-core partitions. We…

In this paper, we study $(s,s+1)$-core partitions with $d$-distinct parts. We obtain results on the number and the largest size of such partitions, so we extend Xiong's paper in which the results are obtained about $(s,s+1)$-core partitions…

Suppose $s$ and $t$ are coprime positive integers, and let $\sigma$ be an $s$-core partition and $\tau$ a $t$-core partition. In this paper we consider the set $\mathcal P_{\sigma,\tau}(n)$ of partitions of $n$ with $s$-core $\sigma$ and…
