Abstract: In 2008, Han rediscovered an expansion of powers of Dedekind eta function attributed to Nekrasov and Okounkov (which was actually first proved the same year by Westbury) by using a famous identity of Macdonald in the framework of type widetildeA affine root systems. In this paper, we obtain new combinatorial expansions of powers of eta, in terms of partition hook lengths, by using the Macdonald identity in type widetildeC and a new bijection between vectors with integral coordinates and a subset of t-cores for integer partitions. As applications, we derive a symplectic hook formula and an unexpected relation between the Macdonald identities in types widetildeC, widetildeB, and widetildeBC. We also generalize these expansions through the Littlewood decomposition and deduce in particular many new weighted generating functions for subsets of integer partitions and refinements of hook formulas.
