Comments

The number of standard Young tableaux of a fixed skew shape has a determinantal formula, the Jacobi-Trudi formula. It is rare when a family of skew shapes has a product formula for the number of standard Young tableaux. This product formula has independently been proved using P-Schur functions (by DeWitt) and using the Naruse hook-length formula for skew shapes (by Morales, Pak and Panova).

Examples

			a(1)=16 since there are 16 standard Young tableaux of skew shape 321/1 since this is the same as the number of standard Young tableaux of straight shape 321 given by the hook-length formula: 16 = 6!/(3^2*5).

Formula

a(n) = (binomial(4*n,2)-n^2)!*b(n)^3*b(3*n)*c(n)*c(3*n)/(b(2*n)^3*c(2*n)^2*c(4*n)) where b(n) = 1!*2!*...*(n-1)! is the superfactorial A000178(n-1), and c(n) = 1!!*3!!*...*(2*n-3)!! is super doublefactorial A057863(n-1).

a(n) ~ sqrt(Pi) * 3^(9*n^2 - 3*n/2 - 1/24) * 7^(7*n^2 - 2*n + 1/2) * exp(7*n^2/2 - 2*n + 23/56) * n^(7*n^2 - 2*n + 7/8) / (A^(3/2) * 2^(33*n^2 - 6*n - 7/8)), where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant A074962. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 08 2021
