The universal formula for the quantum toroidal central coefficient

From papers

Let NN, LL, and nn be positive integers, and let γn(q)\gamma_n(q) be the scalar defined by

[Bn,Bn]M=γn(q)M.[B_n,B_{-n}]|M\rangle=\gamma_n(q)|M\rangle.

For N=1N=1, L=1L=1, or n=1,2n=1,2, the preceding proposition gives

γn(q)=n1q2Nn1q2n1q2Ln1q2n.\gamma_n(q)=n\frac{1-q^{2Nn}}{1-q^{2n}}\frac{1-q^{-2Ln}}{1-q^{-2n}}.

Universal formula conjecture. The formula

γn(q)=n1q2Nn1q2n1q2Ln1q2n\gamma_n(q)=n\frac{1-q^{2Nn}}{1-q^{2n}}\frac{1-q^{-2Ln}}{1-q^{-2n}}

is valid for all positive integers NN, LL, and nn.

The claim extends the formula proved in the special cases N=1N=1, L=1L=1, and n=1,2n=1,2; the source does not provide a proof for arbitrary positive NN, LL, and nn.
