Straub's largest-size conjecture for odd -core partitions
Let be an odd positive integer. An -core partition is a partition that is simultaneously an -core and an -core, and its parts are required to be distinct. Straub's conjecture. The largest size of an -core partition into distinct parts is
Straub posed this conjecture in the study of simultaneous core partitions; the surrounding paper focuses on the number and largest size of -core partitions into distinct parts and states that it verifies the two conjectures mentioned. The supplied text does not explicitly give a resolution status for this individual claim, so it is recorded as open.
