The hook-number ratio conjecture for self-conjugate and distinct-odd partitions
Let and denote the numbers of hooks of length among self-conjugate partitions of and partitions of into distinct odd parts, respectively. The hook-number ratio conjecture. For every integer , there exists a constant such that
This extends the comparison of hook statistics to two equinumerous families of partitions. The source presents it as an unresolved conjecture and notes that further questions about the behavior of are not addressed.
