The Mathieu-subspace conjecture for generalized Laguerre polynomials

Let kNn{\bf k}\in\mathbb N^n, and let Lα[k](z)L^{[\bf k]}_\alpha(z) denote the generalized Laguerre polynomials for multi-indices αNn\alpha\in\mathbb N^n. Let M\mathcal M be the subspace of the polynomial algebra A[z]\mathcal A[z] spanned by the polynomials Lα[k](z)L^{[\bf k]}_\alpha(z) with 0αNn0\ne\alpha\in\mathbb N^n. A subspace of a commutative algebra is a Mathieu subspace if, whenever all positive powers of an element lie in it, multiplication by any fixed algebra element preserves membership for all sufficiently large powers. The generalized Laguerre Mathieu-subspace conjecture. For every kNn{\bf k}\in\mathbb N^n, M\mathcal M is a Mathieu subspace of A[z]\mathcal A[z]. This is identified as a special case of a broader conjecture for classical orthogonal polynomials. The source notes that it remains open even for the classical Laguerre polynomials in one variable, corresponding to k=0{\bf k}=0.
