Conjecture on the weight of maximal -core partitions
Conjecture on the weight of maximal -core partitions
Let and be positive integers, and let be determined by either or . A maximal -core partition is a core partition maximal under inclusion, and its size is its weight. The maximal-core weight conjecture. The size of a maximal -core is
if , and
if . There are two such maximal partitions, one corresponding to and one to its conjugate. This conjecture extends the agreement, when , between the weight of a maximal -core partition and the longest such core; the cited prior results concern the case , while the general assertion remains unresolved in the supplied text.
