Xin's second determinant factorization conjecture

About 21 years old · traced to

Let cmucmu be an indeterminate, let nn be an odd non-negative integer, and use cdeltaijcdelta_{ij} and shifted factorial notation as in the first conjecture.

Xin's second determinant conjecture.

cdet0clei,jclen−1cleft(−cdeltaij+cbinomcmu+i+jj+2cright)cdet_{0cle i,jcle n-1}cleft(-cdelta_{ij}+cbinom{cmu+i+j}{j+2}cright)

is equal to the product displayed in the source statement.

The claim concerns the next determinant in the same family; the source says that the factorization occurs for odd nn but not for even nn. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
