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 $lambda$ is at most the $p$-bar-weight of $lambda$. 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 $ilde{C}_{frac(p-1)2}imesilde{C}_{frac(q-1)2}$. We also provide an algorithm for constucting a bar partition in this set with a given $p$-bar-core and $q$-bar-core.
