The linear recurrence conjecture for Jack-polynomial coefficients

Let α\alpha be fixed, let ρ\rho be a partition, and let aρk,(α)a_{\rho}^{k,(\alpha)} be the coefficients defined by

hk(Aλ(α))=μaμk,(α)θμ(α)(λ).h_k(A_\lambda^{(\alpha)})=\sum_\mu a_\mu^{k,(\alpha)}\theta_\mu^{(\alpha)}(\lambda).

For a partition ρ\rho, write ρ(m)\rho\cup(m) for adjoining a part mm, ρ(r,s)\rho\cup(r,s) for adjoining parts rr and ss, and ρ\ρi(ρi+m)\rho\backslash\rho_i\cup(\rho_i+m) for removing the part ρi\rho_i and adjoining the part ρi+m\rho_i+m. Write (ρ)\ell(\rho) for the number of parts of ρ\rho. The linear recurrence conjecture. For any m2m\geq 2,

aρ(m)k,(α)=r+s=mr,s1aρ(r,s)k1,(α)+α1i(ρ)ρiaρ\ρi(ρi+m)k1,(α)+(α1)(m1)aρ(m)k1,(α).a_{\rho\cup(m)}^{k,(\alpha)}=\sum_{r+s=m\atop r,s\geq 1}a_{\rho\cup(r,s)}^{k-1,(\alpha)}+\alpha\sum_{1\leq i\leq\ell(\rho)}\rho_i a_{\rho\backslash\rho_i\cup(\rho_i+m)}^{k-1,(\alpha)}+(\alpha-1)\cdot(m-1)a_{\rho\cup(m)}^{k-1,(\alpha)}.

This conjecture seeks a recurrence valid for the coefficients governing complete functions in Jack-polynomial and Jucys--Murphy-element settings; it specializes to relations already known at α=1\alpha=1 and α=2\alpha=2, while its validity for general α\alpha is left open in the source.
