Abstract: Partitions, the partition function $p(n)$, and the hook lengths of their Ferrers-Young diagrams are important objects in combinatorics, number theory and representation theory. For positive integers $n$ and $t$, we study $p_t^e(n)$ (resp. $p_t^o(n)$), the number of partitions of $n$ with an even (resp. odd) number of $t$-hooks. We study the limiting behavior of the ratio $p_t^e(n)/p(n)$, which also gives $p_t^o(n)/p(n)$ since $p_t^e(n)+p_t^0(n)=p(n)$. For even $t$, we show that ${\displaystyle }$limlimits_{n o infty} dfrac{p_t^e(n)}{p(n)} = dfrac{1}{2},${\displaystyle }$ and for odd $t$ we establish the non-uniform distribution ${\displaystyle }$limlimits_{n o infty} dfrac{p^e_t(n)}{p(n)} = �egin{cases} dfrac{1}{2} + dfrac{1}{2^{(t+1)/2}} & ext{if } 2 mid n, \ \ dfrac{1}{2} - dfrac{1}{2^{(t+1)/2}} & ext{otherwise.} end{cases}${\displaystyle }$ Using the Rademacher circle method, we find an exact formula for $p_t^e(n)$ and $p_t^o(n)$, and this exact formula yields these distribution properties for large $n$. We also show that for sufficiently large $n$, the signs of $p_t^e(n)-p_t^o(n)$ are periodic.
