Bijections between t-core partitions and t-tuples

Abstract

This note introduces some bijections relating core partitions and tuples of integers. We apply these bijections to count the number of cores with various types of restriction, including fixed number of parts, limited size of parts, parts divisible by some integer, and distinct parts. For example, we prove that the number of 2t-core partitions into l even parts equals the number of t-core partitions into l parts. We also generalize one expression for simultaneous cores, which was given by Baek, Nam and Yu, recently. Subsequently, we use this expression to obtain recurrence satisfied by numbers of (s, s + 1, · · · , s + r)−core partitions for s ≥ 1.
