Hypergeometric formulas for ordered multi-degree contributions

Let d=(d0,d1,d2)\boldsymbol{d}=(d_0,d_1,d_2) be an ordered multi-degree, and let Cord(d)\operatorname{C}_{\operatorname{ord}}(\boldsymbol{d}) denote its ordered multi-degree contribution. For positive integers dd, d1d_1, and d2d_2, the relevant binomial coefficients are defined in the usual way.

Hypergeometric contribution conjecture. The ordered multi-degree contributions satisfy

Cord(d,0,0)=1d2(4d1d)(d1),\operatorname{C}_{\operatorname{ord}}(d,0,0)=\dfrac{1}{d^2}{4d-1\choose d}\qquad (d\geq 1),

and

Cord(d1,d2,0)=6d1d2(4d1+2d21d11)(4d2+2d11d21)(d1,d21).\operatorname{C}_{\operatorname{ord}}(d_1,d_2,0)=\dfrac{6}{d_1d_2}{4d_1+2d_2-1\choose d_1-1}{4d_2+2d_1-1\choose d_2-1}\qquad (d_1,d_2\geq 1).

The first formula is supported by its relationship, after taking a logarithm, with the diagonal term of the 33-Kronecker quiver, whose corresponding conjecture of Gross was proved by Reineke. The second formula is not immediately explained by the same heuristic, so the general formulas remain a conjectural description of these contributions.
