On the largest size of (t, t + 1, ..., t + p) -core partitions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we prove that Amdeberhan's conjecture on the largest size of (t,t+1,t+2)-core partitions is true. We also show that the number of (t,t+1,t+2)-core partitions with the largest size is 1 or 2 based on the parity of t. More generally, the largest size of (t,t+1,...,t+p)-core partitions and the number of such partitions with the largest size are determined.
