Let $lambda$ be an integer partition, denote the number of Standard Young Tableaux of shape $lambda$ by $f_lambda$. This number is computed by the formula
$$f_lambda=fracn!prod_uinlambdah_u$$
where $h_u$ is a hook length. It is also well-known that
$$sum_lambdavdash nf_lambda^2=n!tag1$$
Recall the notation for the content of a cell $u=(i,j)$ in a partition is $c_u=j-i$.
Question. Is this true?
$$sum_lambdavdash nf_lambda^2prod_uinlambda(t+c_u)=n!,t^n.$$
NOTE. An affirmative answer would imply (1): divide both sides by $t^n$ and take the limit $trightarrowinfty$.

For any cell $u$ of $lambda$, let $h_lambda, u$ denote the hook length of $u$ in $lambda$. Using the formula quoted in mathoverflow.net/a/263658 as Corollary 7.21.4, we can rewrite $prodlimits_u in lambda left(t+c_uright) = s_lambdaleft(1^tright) prodlimits_u in lambda h_lambda, u = s_lambdaleft(1^tright) dfracn!f_lambda$ (by the hook-length formula). Thus, the left hand side of your question simplifies to $n! cdot sumlimits_lambda vdash n f_lambda s_lambdaleft(1^tright)$. The rest ...

Notice that $f_lambda$ is the number of standard Young tableaux of shape $lambda$, whereas $f_lambdafracprod_uin lambda (t+c_u)n!$ is the number of semistandard Young tableaux of shape $lambda$ and content $t$. It was mentioned in a previous question that the identity
$$sum_left|textSSYT(lambda)right|left|textSYT(lambda)right|=t^n.$$
can either be proved bijectively from RSK (as Darij explains in the comments) or by appealing to Schur-Weyl duality (as David explains in the link), which gives an isomorphism of $S_ntimes GL(V)$ representations
$$sum_ Sp_lambda boxtimes S_lambda(V) cong V^otimes n$$
where $V$ is a $t$ dimensional vector space, $S_lambda$ is the Schur functor, and $Sp_lambda$ the corresponding Specht module. Our identity follows by taking the dimension of both sides.
