Abstract
When p and q are coprime odd integers no less than 3, Olsson proved that the q -bar-core of a p -bar-core is again a p -bar-core. We establish a generalisation of this theorem: that the p -bar-weight of the q -bar-core of a bar partition λ is at most the p -bar-weight of λ . We go on to study the set of bar partitions for which equality holds and show that it is a union of orbits for an action of a Coxeter group of type ˜ C ( p − 1) / 2 × ˜ C ( q − 1) / 2 . We also provide an algorithm for constructing a bar partition in this set with a given p -bar-core and q -bar-core.
