Summary: G.-N. Han [Ann. Inst. Fourier 60, No. 1, 1–29 (2010; Zbl 1215.05013)] rediscovered an expansion of powers of Dedekind \(\eta\) function due to N. A. Nekrasov and A. Okounkov [Progress in Mathematics 244, 525–596 (2006; Zbl 1233.14029)] by using Macdonald’s identity in type \(\widetilde{A}\). In this paper, we obtain new combinatorial expansions of powers of \(\eta\), in terms of partition hook lengths, by using Macdonald’s identity in type \(\widetilde{C}\) and a new bijection. As applications, we derive a symplectic hook formula and a relation between Macdonald’s identities in types \(\widetilde{C}\), \(\widetilde{B}\), and \(\widetilde{BC}\).
