The Jacobi sum-rule conjecture for the rate function

Let JβE^(N,κ1N,κ2N)\widehat{J\beta E}(N,\kappa_1N,\kappa_2N) denote the Jacobi beta-ensemble model with parameters κ1N\kappa_1N and κ2N\kappa_2N, let ν\nu be a probability measure on [0,1][0,1], let KMKKMK denote the model's equilibrium measure, let K(KMK ⁣  ⁣ ν){\mathcal K}(KMK\!\ |\!\ \nu) denote the reversed Kullback–Leibler divergence, and let Ej±E_j^\pm be the associated spectral outliers. The Jacobi sum-rule conjecture. Under the JβE^(N,κ1N,κ2N)\widehat{J\beta E}(N,\kappa_1N,\kappa_2N) model, the rate function is given by

I(ν)=K(KMK ⁣  ⁣ ν)+jFJ(Ej±).I(\nu)={\mathcal K}(KMK\!\ |\!\ \nu)+\sum_j{\mathcal F}_J(E_j^\pm).

The conjecture seeks a sum-rule representation of the Jacobi large-deviation rate function in terms of equilibrium relative entropy and spectral-outlier contributions. The source says that no known sum rule was available in this general case, and the supplied text gives no evidence of a later resolution.
