| Résume | The study of self-conjugate partitions is connected to both number theory and the representation theory of certain finite groups. We discuss two recent results. Firstly, the extension of a monotonicity conjecture by D. Stanton by the author and C. Hanusa. Secondly, how properties of the core towers of self-conjugate partitions maybe be used to help resolve a refinement of the McKay Conjecture by G. Navarro in the case of the alternating groups. |
