The main result states that certain sums over partitions p of n, involving symmetric functions of the squares of the hook lengths of p, are polynomial functions of n. A similar result is obtained for symmetric functions of the contents and shifted parts of n.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-04-10T16:38:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05" ], "keywords": [ "hook lengths", "combinatorial properties", "partitions", "symmetric functions", "main result states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0807.0383S" } } }
