Guo–Jouhet–Zeng gcd conjecture for alternating binomial sums

For positive integers mm and nn, define

Ar(n)=k=02n(1)k(2nk)r.A_r(n)=\sum_{k=0}^{2n}(-1)^k\binom{2n}{k}^r.

Here gcd(a1,a2,)\gcd(a_1,a_2,\ldots) denotes the greatest common divisor of the indicated integers. Guo–Jouhet–Zeng's gcd conjecture.

gcd(Am(n),Am+1(n),Am+2(n),)=(2nn).\gcd\bigl(A_m(n),A_{m+1}(n),A_{m+2}(n),\ldots\bigr)=\binom{2n}{n}.

Calkin's congruence shows that (2nn)\binom{2n}{n} divides every term in the gcd. The conjecture asserts that this common divisor is exact for every positive mm and nn; the supplied source does not indicate a resolution.
