ResourceFunction["HookLengths"][p]

gives a list of lists of lengths p for a partition p where an entry is the hook length of the corresponding cell in the Young tableau of p.

Details

In the Young tableau of shape p, the hook for a cell c is the set of cells containing c, the cells to the right of c and the cells below c.

The hook length of a cell c is the number of cells in the hook of c.

The hook lengths of the integer partition (3,2,1,1):

In[1]:=

Out[1]=
