Odd-part dominance for elementary symmetric products of partition parts
For a partition , let be the partition whose parts are all products with , and set when . Let be the number of partitions in with odd parts, and let be the number with distinct parts. Odd-part dominance conjecture.
These inequalities are based on numerical evidence and relate the parity and distinctness of partitions formed from elementary symmetric products; the source does not establish them.
