Unimodality of partitions with distinct parts inside Ferrers shapes

We investigate the rank-generating function F[subscript λ] of the poset of partitions contained inside a given shifted Ferrers shape λ. When λ has four parts, we show that F [subscript λ] is unimodal when λ=〈n, n-1, n-2, n-3〉, for any n≥4, and that unimodality fails for the doubly-indexed, infinite...
