The implication is false. ChooseThe hook lengths areThus does not divide this irreducible character degree, but no hook has length .
There is no contradiction with part (i): removing two horizontal rim hooks of length three gives the empty core of a partition, so and the core degree is one. Having total weight of a partition two does not force a single hook of length twice the modulus.
