The symplectic and orthogonal squared-content identity conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda range over partitions, let hλ(u)h^{\lambda}(u) denote the hook length of a cell u∈λu\in\lambda, and let cspλ(u)c_{sp}^{\lambda}(u) and cOλ(u)c_{O}^{\lambda}(u) denote its symplectic and orthogonal contents, respectively. Symplectic and orthogonal squared-content identity conjecture. For an indeterminate tt, one has

∑n≥0qn∑λ⊢n∏u∈λt+(cspλ(u))2(hλ(u))2=∏j≥11(1−q4j−2)(1−qj)t=∑n≥0qn∑λ⊢n∏u∈λt+(cOλ(u))2(hλ(u))2.\sum_{n\geq0}q^n\sum_{\lambda\vdash n}\prod_{u\in\lambda}\frac{t+(c_{sp}^{\lambda}(u))^2}{(h^{\lambda}(u))^2}= \prod_{j\geq1}\frac1{(1-q^{4j-2})(1-q^j)^t}= \sum_{n\geq0}q^n\sum_{\lambda\vdash n}\prod_{u\in\lambda}\frac{t+(c_{O}^{\lambda}(u))^2}{(h^{\lambda}(u))^2}.

This is presented as the symplectic and orthogonal counterpart to Stanley's hook-content identity and remains open in the source.
