Glaisher partition bijection
ID: glaisher-partition-bijection
Fix a prime . Replace each part , with , by copies of . This is a size-preserving bijection from regular partitions to partitions of an integer whose parts are not divisible by . To invert it, write each multiplicity of a part not divisible by in base and use its digit in position as the multiplicity of . Every resulting multiplicity is below . The bijection explains why the number of simple symmetric-group modules equals the number of p-regular elements' conjugacy classes.
