Maximal even -core partition conjecture
Let and be distinct odd primes. A partition is a -core partition if it is simultaneously a -core and a -core, and it is even when its corresponding parity is even. Maximal even core conjecture. There exists a -core partition such that every even -core partition is contained in .
This asks whether the even core partitions admit a common largest member under containment, analogous to the known result for all -core partitions. The source presents this as a future direction and gives no resolution.
