Self-conjugate partitions are specific types of partitions of an integer where the partition is equal to its own conjugate. This means that if you visualize the partition as a diagram, it remains unchanged when reflected across its main diagonal. They play an important role in the representation theory of symmetric groups, especially in understanding the structure of the irreducible representations of these groups.
congrats on reading the definition of Self-conjugate partitions. now let's actually learn it.
