Integrality conjecture for normalized orthogonal group moments

About 16 years old · traced to

Let a≥b≥ca\geq b\geq c be nonnegative integers, let nn denote the dimension parameter in the normalized orthogonal-group integral JJ, and let J(abc)J\begin{pmatrix}a&&\\ &b&\\ &&c\end{pmatrix} denote the corresponding joint moment. Then the integrality conjecture. The quantity

[c0]n−1[b+c0]nJ(abc)\left[\frac{c}{0}\right]_{n-1}\left[\frac{b+c}{0}\right]_nJ\begin{pmatrix}a&&\\ &b&\\ &&c\end{pmatrix}

is an integer. The conjecture arises from explicit formulas for joint moments of diagonal entries of orthogonal matrices; its resolution is not specified in the source.
