At least 5 years old · documented by

For integers α,β,γ,δ\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta, define

Gα,β,γ,δ(n):=det⁡0≤i,j≤n−1(2i+β(i+4j+γ4j+α)+(−i+4j+δ4j+α)).G_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta}(n):=\det_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\left(2^{i+\beta}\binom{i+4j+\gamma}{4j+\alpha}+\binom{-i+4j+\delta}{4j+\alpha}\right).

Shifted G-determinant identities. For all n≥3n\geq3, the three chains of identities displayed in the source hold:

G3,0,3,3(n)=23G0,1,−2,−4(n+1)=−1672G1,3,−2,−8(n+1)=163G5,4,3,−5(n)=41002001G6,6,3,−9(n)=−85G9,5,8,−2(n−1),G_{3,0,3,3}(n)=\frac23G_{0,1,-2,-4}(n+1)=-\frac1{672}G_{1,3,-2,-8}(n+1)=\frac1{63}G_{5,4,3,-5}(n)=\frac4{1002001}G_{6,6,3,-9}(n)=-\frac85G_{9,5,8,-2}(n-1), G1,1,0,−2(n)=−149G2,3,0,−6(n)=−27G6,4,5,−3(n−1)=−45577G7,6,5,−7(n−1),G_{1,1,0,-2}(n)=-\frac1{49}G_{2,3,0,-6}(n)=-\frac27G_{6,4,5,-3}(n-1)=-\frac4{5577}G_{7,6,5,-7}(n-1), G2,1,2,0(n)=2G7,4,7,−1(n−1).G_{2,1,2,0}(n)=2G_{7,4,7,-1}(n-1).

These identities relate experimentally identified determinant evaluations and are stated conjecturally in the source. The surrounding proposition establishes some related block-structure identities, but the displayed chains themselves are left unproved.
