Furthermore we show that these are also partitions with minimal Durfee size. This we use to give the maximal Durfee size for [nu] appearing in [A] for the cases when A decays into two partitions and for some special cases of A. Also this gives conditions for two skew diagrams to represent the same skew character.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-08-07T13:49:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05", "05E10", "14M15", "20C30" ], "keywords": [ "principal hook length partitions", "skew character", "durfee size", "maximal principal hook lengths", "arbitrary skew diagram" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0802.0417G" } } }
