Mar 16, 2017 at 11:20 comment added Ofir Gorodetsky @juan In a recent preprint, Sun's conjecture was proven by Mao: arxiv.org/pdf/1511.06221.pdf (see Theorem 1.1).
Mar 15, 2017 at 20:08 comment added juan This appears as (part of) Conjecture 5.6 in Zhi-Wei Sun "Two new kinds of numbers and related divisibility results", arXiv:1408.5381 v8. In Remark 5.3 Zhi-Wei Sun asserts it is divisible by n+1.

Mar 15, 2017 at 4:28 comment added D. Ror. @darijgrinberg ...and divisible by $(n+1)$ but not $(n+1)^2$ for odd exponents greater than $1$.
Mar 14, 2017 at 22:37 comment added T. Amdeberhan How is a "possible duplicate"? Please check carefully.

Mar 14, 2017 at 19:29 comment added darij grinberg Also empirically, $\sum_{k=0}^n\sum_{j=0}^k\binom{k}j^2\binom{2j}j(2j+1)^{2p}$ also seems to be divisible by $\left(n+1\right)^2$ for any positive integer $p$.
Mar 14, 2017 at 4:59 comment added T. Amdeberhan @darijgrinberg: It's intentional because the identity is true only if you hold on to $(2j+1)$ on the LHS, not true with $(2j+1)^2$.
Mar 14, 2017 at 4:50 comment added darij grinberg @DannyRorabaugh: Is the lack of a square at the end of the LHS intentional?
Mar 14, 2017 at 3:25 comment added D. Ror. Empirically, $\sum_{k=0}^n \sum_{j=0}^k {k\ \choose j}^2 {2j \choose j} (2j+1) = (n+1)^2 \sum_{i = 0}^n {n \choose i}^2 C_i$, where $C_i$ is the $i$-th Catalan number.
Mar 14, 2017 at 2:37 comment added T. Amdeberhan That, too, is not clear. If proved, it might shade some light into the divisibility by $(n+1)^2$.
Mar 14, 2017 at 2:37 comment added Noam D. Elkies Is it clearly divisible by $n+1$?
