On the positivity of the number of t-core partitions
A partition of a positive integer n is a nonincreasing sequence of positive integers with sum Here we define a special class of partitions. 1. Let be a positive integer. Any partition of n whose Ferrers graph have no hook numbers divisible by t is known as a t- core partitionof The hooks are important in the representation theory of finite symmetric groups and the theory of cranks associated with Ramanujan’s congruences for the ordinary partition function [3,4,6]. If and , then we define...
