Weighted sum over integer partitions involving hook lengths

I am trying to compute the following quantity: $$ g_n(x) = \sum_{\lambda \vdash n} \prod_{h \in \mathcal{H}(\lambda)} \frac{1}{h^2} \exp\left[x\sum_i \binom{\lambda_i}{2} - \binom{\lambda_i'}{2}\right]...

Given a Ferrers diagram, prove that $\det(M)=1$

Let $\lambda$ be a Ferrers diagram corresponding to some integer partition of $k$. We number the rows and the columns, so that the j'th leftmost box in the i'th upmost row is denoted as $(i,j)$. Let $...

Counting Semistandard Young Tableaux For Triangular Shapes?

If $k \leq n$ I denote the Young diagram with shape $(n,n-1,n-2,\ldots,1)$ by $\lambda^{n,n-1,\ldots,1}$. I write $f^{\lambda_n^{n,n-1,\ldots,1}}$ to count the number of semistandard Young tableaux ...

Why is the ladder tableau of an $e$-restricted partition $e$-restricted?

Lemma 3.40 on page 46 in Mathas's "Iwahori-Hecke Algebras and the Symmetric Group" states Suppose that $\lambda$ is an $e$-restricted partition of $n$. Then the ladder tableau $\mathfrak{l}_e^\...

Inequality for hook numbers in Young diagrams

Consider a Young diagram $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_\ell)$. For a square $(i,j) \in \lambda$ define hook numbers $h_{ij} = \lambda_i + \lambda_j' -i - j +1$ and complementary hook numbers $...
