Weighted average-size conjecture for self-conjugate core partitions

About 11 years old · traced to

Let ss and tt be coprime positive integers. Write Ds\mathcal{D}_s for the set of self-conjugate ss-cores, let Dt\mathcal{D}_t be the set of self-conjugate tt-cores, and let StabSC⁡s,t(λ)\operatorname{StabSC}_{s,t}(\lambda) be the stabiliser of λ∈Ds∩Dt\lambda\in\mathcal{D}_s\cap\mathcal{D}_t under the level-tt action of H~s\widetilde{\mathfrak H}_s on Ds\mathcal{D}_s.

Weighted self-conjugate core-average conjecture.

∑λ∈Ds∩Dt∣λ∣∣StabSC⁡s,t(λ)∣∑λ∈Ds∩Dt1∣StabSC⁡s,t(λ)∣={(s−1)(t2−1)24if t is odd,(s−1)(t2+2)24if t is even.\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda\in\mathcal{D}_s\cap\mathcal{D}_t}\frac{|\lambda|}{|\operatorname{StabSC}_{s,t}(\lambda)|}}{\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda\in\mathcal{D}_s\cap\mathcal{D}_t}\frac{1}{|\operatorname{StabSC}_{s,t}(\lambda)|}}= \begin{cases} \dfrac{(s-1)(t^2-1)}{24} & \text{if } t \text{ is odd},\\[9pt] \dfrac{(s-1)(t^2+2)}{24} & \text{if } t \text{ is even}. \end{cases}

This is the self-conjugate analogue of the weighted core-average conjecture, incorporating the parity of tt. The supplied text does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
