On several extensions of the Dyson constant term identity

Abstract:

Dyson's conjecture asserts that the constant term of certain Laurent polynomial in the form of a product is the multinomial coefficients. It was studied by many authors, including a proof by the Nobel prize winner Wilson, an elegant recursive proof by Good, and a combinatorial proof by Zeilberger. I will talk about an elementary approach by using basic property of polynomials to several extensions of the Dyson constant term identity.
