Abstract: Suppose $s$ and $t$ are coprime natural numbers. A theorem of Olsson says that the $t$-core of an $s$-core partition is again an $s$-core. We generalise this theorem, showing that the $s$-weight of the $t$-core of a partition $lambda$ is at most the $s$-weight of $lambda$. Then we consider the set $mathcal{C}_{s:t}$ of partitions for which equality holds, which we call $[s:t]$-cores; this set has interesting structure, and we expect that it will be the subject of future study. We show that the set of $[s:t]$-cores is a union of finitely many orbits for an action of a Coxeter group of type $ilde{A}_{s-1}imesilde{A}_{t-1}$ on the set of partitions. We also consider the problem of constructing an $[s:t]$-core with specified $s$-core and $t$-core.
