Abstract: Let $p_t(a,b;n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ such that the number of $t$ hooks is congruent to $$. For $tin2,3$, arithmetic progressions $$ and $$ on which $p_t(r_1,m_1;m_{2}n+r_2)$ vanishes were established in recent work by Bringmann, Craig, Males, and Ono using the theory of modular forms. Here we offer a direct combinatorial proof of this result using abaci and the theory of $t$-cores and $t$-quotients.
