Abstract

In 2009, the first author proved the Nekrasov-Okounkov formula on hook lengths for integer partitions by using an identity of Macdonald in the framework of type A~\widetilde A affine root systems, and conjectured that some summations over the set of all partitions of size nn are always polynomials in nn. This conjecture was generalized and proved by Stanley. Recently, P\'etr\'eolle derived two Nekrasov-Okounkov type formulas for C~\widetilde C and C~ˇ\widetilde C\,\check{} which involve doubled distinct and self-conjugate partitions. Inspired by all those previous works, we establish the polynomiality of some hook-content summations for doubled distinct and self-conjugate partitions.
