Not for publication

The \(n\)-bar-core of an \(m\)-bar-core
    (This is an analogue of the paper 'The \(t\)-core of an \(s\)-core' below. We consider bar-cores instead of cores, and prove essentially the same results (though there is slightly less symmetry in this case).)
 pdf
Classifying level 1 Fock spaces of a certain type
    (This note arose from a discussion with Peter Tingley. We consider the possibility of defining a new version of the level 1 Fock space in type \(A^{(1)}\) in which the transition coefficients between partitions are all powers of \(q\). We show that in fact it's not possible to find anything new under this restriction. This note is very informal and sketchy.)
 pdf
Regularising a partition on the abacus
    (We give (with proof) an algorithm for computing the e-regularisation of a partition just using abacus displays.)
 pdf
Core blocks of Ariki–Koike algebras II: the weight of a core block
    (This is on the combinatorics of multipartitions and Ariki–Koike algebras. I submitted this paper for publication, but a very helpful referee showed that if you translate into the language of highest-weight representations for Kac–Moody algebras, then a large part of the paper is just finding the non-zero weight spaces for an irreducible highest-weight module, which is done in Kac's book. So this is not really publishable, but the results may be useful to somebody in this form.)
