Hook‐lengths, symplectic/orthogonal contents and Amdeberhan's conjectures

Abstract The symplectic/orthogonal contents of partitions are related to the dimensions of irreducible representations of symplectic/orthogonal groups. In 2012, motivated by Nekrasov–Okounkov's hook‐length formula and Stanley's hook‐content formula, Amdeberhan proposed several conjectures about infinite product formulas for certain generating functions of hook‐lengths and symplectic/orthogonal contents. Some special cases of his conjectures were recently proved by Amdeberhan, Andrews and Ballantine. In this paper, we prove the general cases of Amdeberhan's conjectures.
