Divisibility by a binomial power of the first Gram determinant

About 18 years old · traced to

Let GnG_n be the Gram matrix in the paper, and let divisibility be taken in its polynomial ring. The first-determinant divisibility conjecture. For every integer n≥1n\geq 1,

(det⁡G1)(2nn−1)∣det⁡Gn.(\det G_1)^{\binom{2n}{n-1}}\mid \det G_n.

The conjecture is motivated by computed low-dimensional cases and is offered as part of the paper's proposed factorization pattern; the source gives no proof or subsequent resolution.
