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…

Armstrong, Hanusa and Jones conjectured that if $s,t$ are coprime integers, then the average size of an $(s,t)$-core partition and the average size of a self-conjugate $(s,t)$-core partition are both equal to $\frac{(s+t+1)(s-1)(t-1)}{24}$.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

We observe that for a and b relatively prime, the "abacus construction" identifies the set of simultaneous (a,b)-core partitions with lattice points in a rational simplex. Furthermore, many statistics on (a,b)-cores are piecewise polynomial…

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…

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…

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…

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 =…

Core partitions have attracted much attention since Anderson's work (2002) on the number of $(s,t)$-core partitions for coprime $s,t$. Recently, there has been a growing interest in studying the limiting distributions of the sizes of random…

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…

Suppose $s$ and $t$ are coprime natural numbers. A theorem of Olsson says that the $t$-core of an $s$-core partition is again an $s$-core. We generalise this theorem, showing that the $s$-weight of the $t$-core of a partition $\lambda$ is…

Amdeberhan conjectured that the number of $(t,t+1, t+2)$-core partitions is $\sum_{0\leq k\leq [\frac{t}{2}]}\frac{1}{k+1}\binom{t}{2k}\binom{2k}{k}$. In this paper, we obtain the generating function of the numbers $f_t$ of $(t, t + 1, ...,…

Simultaneous core partitions have been widely studied since Anderson's work on the enumeration of $(s,t)$-core partitions. Amdeberhan and Leven showed that the number of $(s,s+1, \ldots, s+k)$-core partitions is equal to the number of $(s,…

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 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…

An n-core partition is an integer partition whose Young diagram contains no hook lengths equal to n. We consider partitions that are simultaneously a-core and b-core for two relatively prime integers a and b. These are related to abacus…
