Amdeberhan's divisibility conjecture for binomial coefficients

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let a,ba,b and nn be positive integers with a>ba>b. Amdeberhan's divisibility conjecture.

(2bn+1)(2bn+3)(2bnbn)∣3(a−b)(3a−b)(2anan)(anbn).(2bn+1)(2bn+3)\binom{2bn}{bn}\mid 3(a-b)(3a-b)\binom{2an}{an}\binom{an}{bn}.

This is a generalization of a theorem in the paper, found by T. Amdeberhan in personal communication. The text says that a proof would be interesting and gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
