Amdeberhan's refined Nekrasov–Okounkov hook length conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda be a partition of nn, and let H(λ)\mathcal{H}(\lambda) be its multiset of hook lengths. Let H(λ)⋄\mathcal{H}(\lambda)^{\diamond} be the multiset of hook lengths with trivial legs. Amdeberhan's refinement. For every partition size nn and parameter zz,

∑λ⊢n∏h∈H(λ)⋄(h+zh)=∑λ⊢n∏h∈H(λ)(h2+zh2).\sum_{\lambda \vdash n}\prod_{h\in\mathcal{H}(\lambda)^{\diamond}}\left(\frac{h+z}{h}\right)=\sum_{\lambda\vdash n}\prod_{h\in\mathcal{H}(\lambda)}\left(\frac{h^2+z}{h^2}\right).

This conjecture refines the Nekrasov–Okounkov hook length formula. The paper proves it, so the identity is no longer open.
