Homogeneity conjecture for special strict partitions
Homogeneity conjecture for special strict partitions
A strict partition is special if all its non-zero parts are congruent to either or modulo . Equivalently, it can be written as
where is a -bar core and is a partition with . A partition is -Carter if, for every and every , the -hook length and the -hook length of are divisible by the same powers of . A partition is homogeneous when its associated spin decomposition number has the homogeneity property considered in the paper.
Homogeneity conjecture for special strict partitions. Suppose and is a special strict partition, written as with a -bar core. Then is homogeneous if and only if is a -Carter partition.
This conjecture extends the classification of homogeneous strict partitions to the special case excluded from the paper's main theorem. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source context.
