Abstract

This paper investigates partitions which have neither parts norhook lengths divisible by p, referred to as p-core p'-partitions. We showthat the largest p-core p'-partition corresponds to the longest walk on agraph with vertices {0, 1,...,p−1} and labelled edges defined via addition modulo p. We also exhibit an explicit family of large p-core p'-partitions, giving a lower bound on the size of the largest such partition which is of the same degree as the upper bound found by McSpirit and Ono.
