Given two sequences of integers c = (c_1, c_2, ..., c_K) and d = (d_1, d_2, ..., d_L), where c_1 + ... + c_K = d_1 + ... + d_L, we can define the factorial ratio sequence u_n(c, d) = (c_1*n)!*(c_2*n)!* ... *(c_K*n)!/ ( (d_1*n)!*(d_2*n)!* ... *(d_L*n)! ) and ask whether it is integral for all n >= 0. The integer L - K is called the height of the sequence. Bober completed the classification of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1 (see A295431). Soundararajan gives many examples of two-parameter families of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 2.
Each row of the present table is an integral factorial ratio sequence of height 1. It is usually assumed that the c's and d's are integers but here some of the c's and d's are half-integers. See A276098 and the cross references there for further examples of this type.
It is known that the unsigned version of row 0 (the central binomial numbers A000984) and row 2 satisfy the supercongruences u(n*p^r) == u(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r)) for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers n and r. We conjecture that all the row sequences of the table satisfy the same supercongruences.

FORMULA
|
T(n,k) = Sum_{j = 0..2*k} binomial((n+2)*k, j)*binomial(n*k-j-1, 2*k-j).
T(2,k) = binomial(4*k,2*k).
For n >= 3, T(n,k) = binomial(n*k-1,2*k) * hypergeom([-(n+2)*k, -2*k], [1 - n*k], -1) except when (n,k) = (3,1).
For n >= 2, T(n,k) = ((n+2)*k)!*((n-2)*k/2)!/(((n+2)*k/2)!*((n-2)*k)!*(2*k)!) by Kummer's Theorem.
T(n,k) = [x^k] (1 - x)^(2*k) * Chebyshev_T(n*k, (1 + x)/(1 - x)).
T(n,k) = Sum_{j = 0..k} binomial(2*n*k, 2*j)*binomial((n-1)*k-j-1, k-j).
For n >= 3, T(n,k) = binomial((n-1)*k-1,k) * hypergeom([-n*k, -k, -n*k + 1/2], [1 - (n-1)*k, 1/2], 1).
The row generating functions are algebraic functions over the field of rational functions Q(x).
