Kadell's first constant-term conjecture for the Dyson product

Let I={i1,,im}I=\{i_1,\ldots,i_m\} be a proper subset of {0,1,,n}\{0,1,\ldots,n\} and let J={j1,,jm}J=\{j_1,\ldots,j_m\} be a multi-subset of {0,1,,n}I\{0,1,\ldots,n\}\setminus I, where 0i1<<imn0\leqslant i_1<\cdots<i_m\leqslant n and 0j1jmn0\leqslant j_1\leqslant\cdots\leqslant j_m\leqslant n. Let a=a0+a1++ana=a_0+a_1+\cdots+a_n, and let CTx\operatorname{CT}_{\mathbf{x}} denote the constant-term operator in x=(x0,,xn)\mathbf{x}=(x_0,\ldots,x_n). Kadell's first conjecture. For nonnegative integers a0,a1,,ana_0,a_1,\ldots,a_n,

(1+akIak)CTxk=1m(1xjkxik)0ijn(1xixj)ai=(1+a)a!a0!a1!an!.\left(1+a-\sum_{k\in I}a_k\right)\operatorname{CT}_{\mathbf{x}}\prod_{k=1}^m\left(1-\frac{x_{j_k}}{x_{i_k}}\right)\prod_{0\leqslant i\ne j\leqslant n}\left(1-\frac{x_i}{x_j}\right)^{a_i}=\left(1+a\right)\frac{a!}{a_0!a_1!\cdots a_n!}.

This is the first of two conjectures of Kadell concerning constant terms of Dyson products; the paper's stated objective is to prove it, so it is resolved in the source, while the broader constant-term identities relate to the Dyson conjecture and its qq-analogue.
