The general qq-congruence conjecture for products of An+i1,k(q)A_{n+i-1,k}(q)

Let n,r_1,\ldots,r_m\bigl\in\mathbb{Z}^{+}\bigr) with r_1+\cdots+r_m\bigl\equiv 1\pmod 2\bigr) and let jNj\in\mathbb{N}. Define Au,k(q)A_{u,k}(q) as in the paper, and let

ηk=qj(k2+k)\eta_k=q^{j(k^2+k)}

or

ηk=(1)kq(k+12)+j(k2+k).\eta_k=(-1)^kq^{\binom{k+1}{2}+j(k^2+k)}.

General qq-congruence conjecture. One has

k=0nηki=1mAn+i1,k(q)ri0(mod1[n+1][2nn]).\sum_{k=0}^n \eta_k\prod_{i=1}^m A_{n+i-1,k}(q)^{r_i}\equiv 0\pmod{\dfrac{1}{[n+1]}{2n\brack n}}.

This extends the preceding corollary. It is proved for m=1m=1 in the stated range and for m=2m=2 in the stated range; the q=1q=1 case has been checked for several additional values, while the full assertion remains open.
