Simple-zero conjecture for Wronskians of Hermite polynomials

About 16 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda be a partition, and let Wλ(z)W_{\lambda}(z) denote the Wronskian of Hermite polynomials associated with λ\lambda. Simple-zero conjecture. For every partition λ\lambda, all the zeroes of Wλ(z)W_{\lambda}(z) are simple except possibly for z=0z=0. This property was conjectured in connection with the locus problem for the zeros of Wronskians of Hermite polynomials; it would provide a more effective proof of Oblomkov's result. The possible multiplicity at z=0z=0 can be computed explicitly, and triangular Young diagrams give the extreme case in which all zeros occur at the origin.
